For your protection
• Read the operating instructions in full before starting up and
follow the safety instructions.
• Keep the operating instructions in a place where they can be
accessed by everyone.
• Ensure that only trained staff work with the appliance.
• Follow the safety instructions, guidelines, occupational health
and safety and accident prevention regulations.
• Socket must be earthed (protective ground contact).
• Caution - Magnetism! Effects of the magnetic field have to be
taken into account (e.g. data storage media, cardiac pacemakers ...).
• Risk of burns! Exercise caution when touching the housing parts and
the heating plate. The heating plate can reach temperatures in excess
of 310 °C. Pay attention to the residual heat after switching off.
• Ensure that the mains power supply cable does not touch the
heating base 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 combustable gases.
• Set up the appliance in a spacious area on an even, stable, clean,
non-slip, dry and fireproof surface.
• The feet of the appliance must be clean and undamaged.
• Check the appliance and accessories beforehand for damage
each time you use them. Do not use damaged components.
• Gradually increase the speed.
• Reduce the speed if
- the medium splashes out of the vessel because the speed is too high
- the appliance is not running smoothly
- the container moves on the base 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 (50 to 360 °C).
The safe temperature limit must always be set to at least 25 °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 size
- overfilling of media
- unsafe condition of container.
• The appliance may heat up when in use.
•
The base plate can heat up due to the action of the drive magnets
at high motor speeds, even if the heater is not operational.
• Process pathogenic materials only in closed vessels under a suit-
able extractor hood. Please contact Chemglass if you have any
questions.
• Do not operate the appliance in explosive atmospheres, with
hazardous substances or under water.
