SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all safety & usage information provided in this manual carefully before using the device.
-
Place the device ona flat, stable, clean, non-slippery and fire-proof surface.
-
Ensure that only trained staff uses the device. Keep the instructions manual ina place where it can be accessed easily.
-
Beware of the possible effects of magnetic field on pacemakers, data media, etc.
-
Do not touch the hotplate surface when temperature of hotplate is over 50°C, this could result in serious burns or injury. Pay attention to the residual heat after switching off.
-
Properly lift the device with both hands while moving or installing. Also, the device should only be moved from its position once it attains the room temperature.
-
Make sure that power supply cord or temperature sensor cable must not come in contact with the heated mounting plate.
-
Do not place any steel or magnetic material on the top surface except the recommended magnetic stirring bar with beaker or flask in between. Doing this can affect the magnetism of device.
-
Wear your personal protective equipment in accordance with the hazardous category of the media to be processed. Otherwise, there is a risk from:
• Splashing and evaporation of liquids.
• Ejection of parts.
• The release of toxic or combustible gases. -
The top surface must be clean and kept intact. Wear protective gloves while cleaning the device. Use a soft mild cloth to clean.
-
Do not use damaged beaker, flask, stirring bar or any other component for operation. It may affect the efficiency of the device.
-
Reduce the speed if:
• If the medium splashes out of the vessel due to high speed.
• If the appliance is not running smoothly.
• If the container moves on the base plate. -
Do not move the device when it’s connected to power supply or during its operation.
-
Ensure that the product is used only for specified operation. It should not be used for shaking hazardous or reactive solutions.
-
Give specific attention to the risks associated with:
• Flammable materials.
• Flammable media with low steam pressure.
• Overfilling of medium.
• Incorrect vessel size.
• Unstable vessel.
• Glass breakage. -
Note that, there is a possibility of contamination or unwanted chemical reaction.
-
The rating of power supply must match with the specified rating.
-
The top surface will be hot after any heating operation. Do not touch the top surface till the hot LED indication glows.
-
Process pathogenic materials only in a closed vessel under a suitable extractor hood. Do not operate the appliance in explosive atmospheres, with the hazardous substance or under water.
-
Only that liquid should be used for mixing which does not react dangerously to the extra energy produced through processing. This also applies to any extra energy produced in other ways. For example: Through light irradiation, through surrounding temperature etc.
-
Abrasion of the dispersion equipment or the rotating accessories can get into the medium you are working on.
-
The chemical reaction of PTFE can occur when in contact with molten or dissolved alkaline earth metals, as well as with fine partied powders of metals’ of the 2 and 3 group of the periodical system at temperatures above 300-400 °C. Only elementary fluorine, chlorine trifluoride and alkaline metals do attack PTFE, halogen hydrocarbons have a reversible swelling effect. Only glasscoated magnetic rods should be used in combination with solute alkali metals or alkaline earth metals or at the temperature above 250°C.
-
To protect do not cover the device, even partially, with elements such as metallic plates or sheets otherwise it may overheat. Ensure that mounting plate remains clean.
-
The socket must be earthed (protective ground contact).
-
Do not use the device if the Enamel coated SS plate surface is damaged. e.g. scratches, splinters or corrosion. A damaged set-up surface could break if used.
-
Safety Fuse is provided of 3Amp configuration which can be replace by the operator. The same will protect the machine circuit during an electrical fault or overload.
