Permissible UV Exposure Levels
Danger
To avoid exposure to UV radiation, always turn off the UV system (see
Shutting Down the

on page 18) if any of the machine covers is opened for more than six
minutes.
Permissible exposure time in seconds for exposure to actinic ultra-violet
radiation incident upon the unprotected skin or eye may be determined with
