General Information
Corning® Hotware has been a laboratory standard for over 30 years. Our
products have been engineered with customer input to be more reliable,
precise, easier to use and safer.
Look for the features listed below:
Exclusive microprocessor design provides superb control for both heating
and stirring to insure consistent performance.
Enclosed control electronics protect sensitive components from harsh envi-
ronments and reduce maintenance time and costs.
Exclusive Pyroceram® top is easy to clean, highly resistant to scratches,
corrosion and chemical attack, flatter to provide faster, more uniform heating
and whiter to provide better contrast during applications which require
monitoring of color changes.
Rigorous testing standards for electrical safety, EMI (Electro Magnetic Inter-
ference) and regulatory approvals. Corning hotware meets UL (USA), CUL
(Canada and Mexico), IEC1010 and CE (Europe), GS (Germany) and FCC
regulations where appropriate.
All units show international symbols for power, heat, stir and hot top.

Warnings
Always wear safety glasses and other appropriate protection when operat-
ing this equipment.
Keep the Pyroceram
may damage the top and lead to thermal failure. Unplug the unit and
remove spills promptly. Should the top plate become damaged by etching,
scratching or chipping, replace the top plate and element assembly imme-
diately using complete assembly and instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Do not immerse the unit for cleaning.
Do not heat or stir volatile materials.
Do not use foil, metal container, large heavy wall glass containers,
fiberglass pads or other insulating materials on the top of the unit when
heating. Heat settings above 5 are not recommended for sand bath
applications.
Do not modify or substitute the grounded power plug. Use only power
cords supplied by the manufacturer. Use only properly grounded outlets to
avoid shock hazard.
Do not modify the unit electrically or mechanically as personal injury or
product damage may occur.
®
top plate clean. Use non-abrasive cleaner. Spills
Do not use ring stand to support unit on lattice or for support of heavy
loads. Gross weight on top of any unit should not exceed 25 lbs.
Not explosion or spark proof.
Not for industrial use. These units are designed for use in laboratory
environments by persons knowledgeable in safe laboratory practices.
Do not use equipment in a manner other than stated in Operating Condi-
tions (page 3) since the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
Do not turn heat or stir knobs counterclockwise from the 0 or off position.

Heating Operation and Controls
Microprocessor ensures minimum heat-up times for samples by supplying
maximum power to the heating element until set point is reached.
Top quality insulation keeps the heat on the top, away from controls and the
lab bench, saving more energy than competitive units.
Hot Top Indicator light warns that the top is too hot to touch (>140°F or 60°C).
Temperature sensor provides power cutoff in abnormal situations by limiting
top plate temperature to 1022°F (550°C).
Optional temperature controller features a digital display, automatic shut off,
stainless steel probe, flashing heat light and tilt indicator. Hot Plates and
Stirrer/Hot Plates (PC-400 and PC-600 Series Only) include a socket for an
optional temperature controller (400188) for ability to control samples between
77°F and 390°F (25°C and 199°C) to an accuracy of ±4°F (±2°C).
Operation: Fill vessel with solution, place stir bar provided into vessel (stirrer/
hot plates only) and set vessel in the center of the top plate. Plug line cord
into a grounded power outlet; the green power indicator light will illuminate.
Turn heat knob clockwise to desired setting. Amber heat light to the left of the
knob will illuminate. Hot top indicator light will illuminate and remain on
when temperature of the top plate reaches approximately 140°F (60°C). When
the heat is turned off, the hot top indicator light will blink until top plate temperature is less than 140°F (60°C).

Stirring Operation and Controls
Exclusive closed-loop stirring control monitors and regulates the stirring
speed, sensing your requirements whether youre stirring an aqueous,
viscous or semi-solid solution.
Stirring control provides a cushioned reaction to large increases in speed
to minimize decoupling.
Operation: Fill vessel with solution, place stir bar provided into vessel
(stirrers and stirrer/hot plates only) and set vessel in the center of the top
plate. Plug line cord into a grounded power outlet, the green power indicator light will illuminate. Turn stir knob clockwise to desired setting.
Amber stir light to the left of the knob will illuminate.

Inspection Procedures
Look for etching, scratching or chipping on top plate. If any of these
conditions are present, replace* the complete top plate and element assembly immediately.
Look for damaged power cord. If cord is damaged, replace* immediately.
Preventive Maintenance
Disconnect power by unplugging unit before performing any mainte-
nance or service*.
Always use a grounded power outlet.
Keep the Pyroceram top plate clean. Unplug unit and use non-abrasive
cleaner.
Clean spills promptly. Unplug unit and use a non-abrasive cleaner.
Do not immerse unit for cleaning.
Replace* a damaged top immediately using complete top plate and
element assembly.
Always keep plug closure in socket when not using optional temperature
controller.
* Refer to page 9 for appropriate part number. Service should always be done
by qualified technicians using Corning parts and instructions.
