While using the water bath, the following precautions must be observed else accidents could occur:

• Do not heat a bath fluid above its flashpoint.
• The water level should be strictly monitored, and only distilled water should be used.
• If the application has liquid that gives fumes, use a fume hood or work in a well-ventilated area.
• The cover should be closed to prevent evaporation and help reach high temperatures.
• The markers in the water bath come off quickly. Thus a water-resistant type is used.
• Raise the water bath temperature to 90 degrees celsius once a week for thirty minutes to allow decontamination.
