The power supply voltage must correspond to the values on the rating plate on the appliance
(the voltage rating is given in volts (V))
The appliance should only be connected to a single phase grounded alternating current.
Make sure that the original mains cable and the wall outlet correspond.
The use of a faulty-energy-protection switch, (Fl) is suggested by all the works with electro-appliances.
If at all possible, avoid using an extension cord. If it is unavoidable, only proper, approved extension cords
should be used. Do not subject the mains cable to strong tension or pressure.
Before using the appliance for the first time it must be thoroughly cleaned. Follow the instructions in Chapter 9
under "Cleaning".
Place the MICROTRON
®
MB 800 on a firm, flat base and plug it into a nearby, appropriate electrical outlet.
The windings of the Rotor commutator motors are covered with high-quality insulating
lacquer. For this reason, the motor may, at first, exude an odour when it heats up.
This is normal and does not damage the motor; it disappears after the motor has been
used several times.
Insert the cutter head together with the gasket into the black threaded ring
Screw the bowl turning counter clockwise into the threaded ring.
Always ensure that it is inserted straight
- Insert the container into the retaining ring on the motor base, taking care to keep it vertical.
- Add ingredients to be mixed.
- Place the lid in such a way, that the hole in the tab at the lid sticks over the end of the rod, that the lid is firmly closed.
- Switch on motor and vary the speed according to the ingredients being mixed, turn the speed control knob clockwise until
the desired speed is reached. The maximum speed is reached at position 8.
Particularly in the case of thick, viscous materials, the highest possible speed should be selected so that the motor is not
heated up unnecessarily.
Liquids and fine grained materials can be added through the filler opening in the lid of the container during operation
(Remove the lid lock).
→ The motor only runs if the lid is in position!
By switching on and operating at high speed, it is recommended that the bowl should be held (lay hand on the lid).

The safety control prevents the motor from being switched on when the protection cap/mixing lid is not in
position and stops it if the protection cap/lid is raised during operation.
When the protection cap/lid is replaced, the speed control knob must be turned back to
"0" (reset function), before the motor can be restarted.
→ Only the speed control knob can be used to turn the machine on and off
When the machine is overstressed or overheated, it switches off automatically.
If this occurs, after about 60 seconds, please press the black button
on the bottom plate of the motor base.
If you notice any irregularities or defects, please contact your
supplier. For more information see under "Repairs".
Never submerge or spray the engine block in water or other fluids! Do not clean with a water jet!
If necessary, only clean it with a damp cloth and be sure to unplug the machine first.
DANGER!
Thoroughly clean the machine after each use! Improper and careless cleaning can cause considerable health
risks from microorganisms.
The mixing attachments should not be cleaned while assembled in the dishwasher, they have to be
disassembled. The mixing attachments are to be thoroughly cleaned after each use or once a day.
Our mixing attachments are made from borosilicate glass and are therefore autoclavable. Borosilicate glass has
very good chemical and physical properties and is used for applications where in addition to the very good
chemical resistance, a very high heat resistance and thermal shock resistance and high mechanical strength are
required (e.g. round-bottomed flasks, beakers).
Upon heating of the flask no deformations are to be expected up to 400° C, however, they already occur at
lower temperatures due to the thermal expansion and the poor thermal conductivity of tensile and
compression stresses. If the permissible strength values are exceeded as a result to rapid heating or cooling
rates, fracturing occurs. Therefore - as with any glass - a maximum permissible temperature can not generally
be defined. If the flask is evenly and slowly heated up in the autoclave and then correspondingly cooled off,
then no problems should be expected for example at 135° C.
Never heat the flask on a hotplate and never expose it to abrupt temperature changes (e.g. don’t take it hot
out of the drying cabinet and put on a cold or wet lab table).
Just rinse and brush off if necessary. Never place in water or in the dishwasher, because otherwise the selflubricating bearings will wear out.

The cutter head is made of stainless steel parts, which are actually very resistant. However, high temperatures
and detergents generally reduce the lubricating effect of the grease in the built-in stainless steel ball bearings
(with integrated NBR seals, heat resistant up to a maximum of 120° C). As a result, wear and tear-related failure
often occurs sooner if the cutter head is treated in a dishwasher or an autoclave. Normally bearing damage
initially only leads to a steady increase in noise of the mixer, so that the device is able to continue to work a
long time yet before it fails. It can often be worth it for the user to save time by cleaning the disassembled
mixing attachment mechanically and for that reason to more frequently replace the cutter head.
on the bottom of the cutter head are made of H-NBR (max. 140° C, cleaning with hot
water and steam also possible) and the hard-paper cover plates on both sides of the bearings are based on
phenolic resin and tolerate at most 120° C
(gray ring) is standard NBR (max. 90° C, FDA, ideal for the food industry, resistant to gasoline,
oils, weak acids, and bases). For special requirements (laboratory applications), the seals can be supplied in
special materials that have a higher chemical and thermal resistance:
▪ (can withstand approximately 200° C, ideal for chemical applications, excellent resistance to
aromatic solvents)
▪ (up to 150° C, industrial applications, especially for hot water and steam)
▪ (max. 200° C, FDA, for the food and pharmaceutical industries)
The black threaded ring (that mostly does not come into contact with the product) is resistant up to 115° C and
has a good resistance in the dishwasher. The inside of the threaded ring is best cleaned with a stiff brush.
concerning
chemical resistance when they come into contact with chlorides (e.g. hydrochloric acid). The initial drying of
chloride-containing disinfectants or the evaporation of hydrochloric acid-containing floor cleaner or similar can
lead to chloride-induced pitting on the surface of the stainless steel. Such disinfectants should be sufficiently
rinsed off after the prescribed contact time. Alternatively, chloride-free disinfectants can be used. Hydrochloric
acid-containing cleaners should be avoided. Improper use (e.g. inadequate rinsing) of active chlorinecontaining cleaning agents, leads to pitting. Any stainless steel can corrode under adverse conditions. Outside
rust is caused by iron particles that attach themselves to the steel surface.
The source of the particles can be:
▪ The water supply
▪ Steel wool sponges, with which the dishes were pre-cleaned
▪ Paper clips, drill cuttings, screws, etc., just to name a few.
Since all of these parts are introduced from the outside, it is called outside rust. If the rust spots and whose
source can not be directly resolved, corrosion damage can become increasingly common.
Chemically-speaking, Plexiglas® (brand name) is a product made from polymethylmethacrylate, abbreviation
PMMA, which is also known as acrylic glass.
Plastics can generally become electrostatically charged. This can cause the parts to then attract dust. Outdoors,
this phenomenon is normally prevented by the rain and humidity. The phenomenon can also be promoted by
mechanical rubbing of the plastic surfaces, air movement, and dry air with plastic parts indoors.
To clean the protect caps, which do not often come into contact with the product, use only a microfiber cloth
lightly dampened with water.
