Safety Information This instruction manual contains important operating and maintenance instructions which must be read, understood, and followed by the product user. Failure to use this product according to this instruction manual may degrade or defeat the protection normally provided by this product. Read this instruction manual prior to product use and keep this instruction manual for future reference.
Operating Conditions Labnet hot plates, stirrers, and stirrer/hot plates are designed to provide safe functioning under the following conditions: Indoor use Altitude up to 2000 meters (6,500 feet) Ambient temperatures of 0°C to 30°C Product should be placed on a flat surface at least 30.5 cm (12") from walls, 122 cm (48") from ceilings, and 30.5 cm (12") from other hot plates if using multiple units.
Product Connections 1. Power Cord Input: Connect the supplied power cord into this connector. 2. External Temperature Controller Input: Connect the optional External Temperature Controller into this connector. 2 1 To Connect the External Temperature Controller 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Turn the Stir Control Knob and Heat Control Knob to the OFF position. Disconnect power cord. Insert temperature controller connector into the input connector. Reconnect power cord.
5. When desired stirring is complete, turn the Stir Control Knob to the OFF position. Allow stir bar to cease rotation before removing the vessel from the unit. 6. Heating and stirring can be performed simultaneously on the D0420 models which offer both heating and stirring functions. Please note that the viscosity of the stirred material will affect the ability of the stir bar to remain coupled to the rotating ring magnet. Materials of high viscosity must be stirred at slower speed settings.
Constant Display: The number shown on the Heating Temperature Display will remain constantly ON when the actual heating temperature is at the set temperature. Hot Top Indicator: The Hot Top Indicator will be ON at all times when the temperature of the top surface is too hot to touch (greater than ~60°C). The Hot Top Indicator will FLASH when the Heat Control Knob is turned OFF but the top surface is still too hot to touch.
Heating Operation Safety The microprocessor controlled system has error routines built in to detect product operation in some unfavorable conditions. The type of error routines which may be active in a product varies depending upon the functionality of the model and the operating software version. If an error routine is engaged, the product will typically shut down.

Frequently Asked Questions I have a beaker of water on my hot plate and set the temperature for 550°C. Why does the display setting blink and not remain constant? The display will blink at any time when the temperature sensor is not within range of the set temperature value. The temperature measured by the sensor is a composite of the temperature of the heating element located beneath the sensor, the ceramic top above the sensor, and the very small air space around the sensor.
