•
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.
•

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

-
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.
