Safety instructions

·The temperature of the instrument may rise under normal use.

· Process pathogenic materials only in airtight container within a suitable fume hood.

!!

·Do not operate the instrument in explosive atmospheres, with hazardous substances or under water.

·Only use medium that will not react dangerously with the energy generated through processing or through other

ways, e.g. Light.

·Safe operation is only guaranteed with the accessories described in the ‘Optional accessories’ section.

·When using PTFE-coated magnetic bars, please note the following problems may occur:

Chemical reactions of PTFE with molten or dissolved alkaline and alkaline-earth metals, as well as with powders of
elements from Groups ll or lll of the periodic system of elements at the temperatures above 300-400°C. While at

ordinary temperatures, only elementary fluorine, trifluoride and alkaline metals will corrode PTFE, and halogenated
hydrocarbons will exert a reversible swelling effect.
