Safety instructions
For your protection
• Read the operating instructions in full before starting up
and follow the safety instructions when in use.
• Ensure that only trained staff works with the device.
• Socket must be earthed (protective ground contact).
• Caution-Magnetism! Effects of the magnetic field have to be
taken in to account (e.g. data storage media, cardiac
pacemakers…).
• The heating plate can reach temperatures of 310°C and pay
attention to the residual heat after switching off.
• The main power supply cable should not touch the heating
plate.
• Wear your personal protective equipment in accordance with
the hazard 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
• Set up the device in a spacious area on an even, stable, clean,
nonslip, dry and fireproof surface.
• Don’t use damaged components.
• Gradually increase the speed and reduce the speed if
- the medium splashes out of the container because the
speed is too high
- the machine is not running smoothly
- the container moves on the heating plate
• Caution! Only process and heat up any media that has a flash
point higher than the adjusted safe temperature limit that has
been set.
• The safe temperature limit must always be set to at least 50°C
lower than the fire point of the media used.
• Beware of hazards due to:
- flammable materials
- combustible media with a low boiling temperature
- glass breakage
- incorrect container use
- overfilling of media
- unsafe condition of container
• The machine may heat up when in use. Don’t use the machine
in explosive atmospheres with hazardous substances.
• Process pathogenic materials only in closed containers under
a suitable extractor hood.
• Only process media that will not react dangerously to the extra
energy produced in other ways, e.g. through light irradiation.
• Accessories must be securely attached to the machine and
can’t come off by themselves.
• Always disconnect the plug before fitting accessories.
• The machine can only be disconnected from the mains supply
by pulling out the mains plug or the connector plug.

• When using PTFE-coated magnetic bars, the following has to
be noted:
Chemical reactions of PTFE occur in contact with molten or
solute alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, as well as with
fine powders of metals in groups 2 and 3 of the periodic sy stem
at temperatures above 300°C-400°C. Only elementary fluorine,
chlorotrifluoride and alkali metals attack it; halogenated
hydrocarbons have a reversible swelling effect.
• The voltage stated on the type plate must correspond to the
mains voltage.
• Don’t cover the machine, even partially e.g. with metallic plates
or film, which will result in overheating.
• Ensure the heating plate is kept clean.
• Protect the machine and accessories from bumps and impacts.
• The minimum distance between the machines: th e minimum
distance between the machine and the wall is 100 mm.
Inspection
• Unpack the device carefully and check for any damages that
may have arisen during transit. Please contact the
manufacturer /supplier for technical support.
Note:
If there is any apparent damage to the device,
please do not connect the power line.
