› 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�
› Process pathogenic materials only in closed vessels under a suitable fume hood�
Caution!
› In unsupervised and safe operation, this device may only handle or heat media whose flash
point is above the set safety temperature limit� The safety temperature limit must always be
set to at least 25 °C lower than the flash point of the media used� (acc� to EN 61010-2-010)
› The heating plate can heat up due to the action of the magnets at high motor speeds, even
if the heater is switched off�
› Please consider any possible contaminations and unwanted chemical reactions�
› It may be possible for wear debris from rotating accessory parts to reach the material being
processed�
› 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 system at temperatures
above 300 °C – 400 °C� Only elementary fluorine, chlorotrifluoride and alkali metals attack
it; halogenated hydrocarbons have a reversible swelling effect�

/// Procedures during sample runs
Caution!
› Wear your personal protective equipment in accordance with the hazard category of the
media to be processed� There may be a risk from:
- splashing and evaporation of liquids,
- ejection of parts,
- release of toxic or combustible gases�
› Reduce speed if:
- medium splashes out of vessel because the speed is too high,
- device is not running smoothly,
- container moves on the base plate,
- an error message is displayed�
/// Accessories
› Safe operation is guaranteed only with the use of original IKA accessories�
› Ensure that the external temperature sensor is inserted into the medium to a depth of at
least 20 mm when connected�
› Always disconnect the plug before attaching accessories�
› Accessories must be securely attached to the device and cannot come off by themselves� The
centre of gravity of the assembly must lie within the surface on which it is set up�
› Observe the operating instructions of the accessories�
