The 120 V Models are provided with a NEMA 5-15 plug. The 230 V Models are provided with a UK
3-pin and a “Schuko” 2-pin plug.

Should the cable not be suitable for connecting to the power supply, replace the plug with a suitable
alternative.

THIS OPERATION SHOULD ONLY BE UNDERTAKEN BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

NOTE: Refer to the equipment rating plate to ensure that the plug and fusing are suitable for the

voltage and wattage stated.

The wires in the power cable (120 V) are colored as follows:
BLACK - HOT/LIVE
WHITE - NEUTRAL
GREEN - EARTH

The wires in the power cable (230 V) are colored as follows:
BROWN - HOT/LIVE
BLUE - NEUTRAL
GREEN/YELLOW - EARTH

IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN

Should the power cable need replacing, a cable of 1 mm2 of harmonized code H05W-F connected to
an IEC320 plug should be used.

The appropriate power cable should be connected BEFORE connection to the power supply.

General Description

Cole-Parmer Heating Mantles are ideal instruments for heating fluids in round-bottomed flasks in the
modern laboratory. The controlled mantles contain a built-in control dial and energy regulator. The
uncontrolled mantles require the use of an external temperature controller. All mantles are constructed
of a powder coated aluminum case to provide excellent chemical resistance. All units combine the
traditional heating element with a built-in earth screen and, depending on the size, can support up to
three lab support rod positions.

The following tables identify the different sizes and groups within the Heating Mantle range:

Available separately are multiple types of external controllers, glassware, and lab support rods to
support various laboratory applications. Please visit the Cole-Parmer website www.coleparmer.com
for further information.

*

*Large volume mantles contain a switch to alternate the power supply between the upper and lower
parts of the heating element, or lower parts only (for when heating smaller volumes).

Safety Advice

❖ HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE DANGEROUS as they can cause serious burns to operators and

ignite combustible material. Users should be aware of the following safety advice:

❖ USE CARE AND WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES TO PROTECT HANDS.

❖ DO NOT use combustible substances near hot objects.

❖ NEVER lift or carry the instrument until it has been switched off and allowed to cool for at least

30 minutes. The hot warning light will give guidance.

❖ The unit should be carried using both hands with the fingers under the side edges.

❖ NEVER move or carry the unit with containers on the top or while still connected to the power

supply.

❖ DO NOT mix combustible liquids or use the equipment in hazardous atmospheres.

❖ NEVER place a cold glass vessel into a mantle which is already hot.

❖ When a lab support rod is installed with apparatus attached, or with swivelling support rods, take

care that there is sufficient weight on the plate to prevent the whole unit tipping over.

❖ DO NOT position the unit such that it is difficult to disconnect it from the power by removing the

power cable from the socket at the back.

❖ DO NOT position the unit such that the ventilation slots are blocked or otherwise obstructed.

❖ DO NOT leave equipment switched on without a charged flask and it is not recommended to

leave any heating apparatus unattended during operation.

❖ AVOID SPILLAGES: Always fill the glassware / vessel away from the heating mantle. Only

introduce a pre-filled, clean, wiped-dry flask into the heating mantle. If spillage does occur,
disconnect unit from the power supply and follow instructions in the Servicing and Repair section.

❖ DO NOT operate or handle any part of the product with wet hands or use on surfaces that may

become flooded.

❖ NEVER connect uncontrolled mantles directly to the mains supply, these are designed for use with

an external controller.

Before Use

Position the mantle on a firm level surface but DO NOT connect to the power supply yet.

Please refer to the installation instructions for any accessories before applying power and ensure
there is sufficient room for the unit to operate and that the ventilation slots are not blocked or
otherwise obstructed.

NOTE: This product should be connected to a mains supply source which incorporates an RCD or
GFCI device that has a tripping current of 30mA or less.
