===== Safety Concerns =====
  * High Voltage
  * High Temperature
  * No combustibles or hazardous materials
  * Thermally insulating gloves must be worn when working with hot items. They can usually be found on the bench next to the ovens.
  * No food may be placed in laboratory ovens. 
  * Never heat a sealed container. 
  * Do not operate the oven if it is damaged, or is not working properly. Please place a note on the oven to alert other users, and notify laboratory staff of the problem. 
  * **Double containment is required for heating containers of liquid to prevent leaked material from contaminating the oven. This is especially true when heating PDMS molds.
