SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read all safety & usage information provided in this manual carefully before using the device.

• Do not place any steel or magnetic material on the base plate except the recommended magnetic stirring bar with a vessel or flask in between. Doing is can affect the magnetism of the device.

• Place the device on a flat, stable, clean, non-slippery and fire-proof surface.

• The base plate must be clean and intact.

• Do not try to mix liquid more than 200 liters with 80 mm magnetic stirring bar on a single stirring position. It may lead to improper mixing.

• Wear 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.
  Release of toxic or combustible gases.

• Do not lift or hold the device from the power cable.

• Do not use a damaged beaker, flask, stirring bar or any other component for operation. It may affect the efficiency of the device.

• Reduce the speed:
  If the medium splashes out of the vessel.
  If the appliance is not running smoothly.
  If the container moves on the base plate.

• Wear protective gloves while cleaning the device.

• Do not touch the base plate immediately after the operation. The base plate may get warm after continuous usage.

• Process pathogenic materials only in a closed vessel under a suitable extractor hood. Do not operate the appliance in explosive atmospheres, with hazardous substances or under water.

• Only use liquid for mixing that will not react dangerously to the extra energy produced through processing. This also applies to any extra energy produced in other ways.
  Examples included: 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.

ACCESSORIES

• Magnetic Stirring Bar
• Power Adapter
• Adjustable frame
