Introduction

Locations and Applications Range 

This cold trap is intended for professional, industrial, and educational applications. They are not in-

tended for use at hazardous or household locations.  

User Manuals:  Labconco & Cascade Sciences 

This is a supplemental manual that is designed to be read in conjunction with Labconco operation 

manual provided with base unit. Section 2.2 of the Thermo manual does not apply to the MAXTRAP.  

This addendum will cover the installation, maintenance, and cleaning of the COLDWELL  unit – the 

stainless steel reservoir inside the Labconco refrigerated unit. 

Before use, read this manual in its entirety to understand how to install, operate, and maintain the unit 

in a safe manner. Keep this manual available for use by all operators. Ensure all operators are given 

appropriate training before the unit begins service. 

General Safety Considerations 

Failure to follow the guidelines and instructions in this manual may create a protection impairment by  

disabling or interfering with unit safety features. This can result in damage to the unit and injury, 

death, or negative effects.  

• 

Follow all national laws, regulations, and local ordinances in your area regarding the use of 

this unit type and the applications you are using it for. If you have any questions about national 

and local requirements, please contact the appropriate agencies. 

• 

Because of the range of potential applications this unit can be used for, the operator or their 

supervisors must draw up a site-specific standard operating procedure (SOP) covering each appli-

cation and associated safety guidelines. This SOP must be written and available to all operators in 

a language they understand. 

• 

Use only approved accessories. Do not modify system components. Any alterations or 

modifications to your oven can be dangerous and void your warranty.

Engineering Improvements 

Cascade Sciences continually improves all of its products. As a result, engineering changes and im-

provements are made from time to time. Therefore, some changes, modifications, and improvements 

may not be covered in this manual. If your unit’s operating characteristics or appearance differs from 

those described in this manual, please contact your oven dealer or customer service representative for 

assistance.
