Residual heat warning (HOT) 

 

To  prevent the risk of burns from the hotplate, this instrument has 

residual heat warning function. When heating is stopped, and the heating 

plate temperature is still above 50°C, the setting indicator will light up to 

warn that there’s potential risk of burns. When the hotplate temperature 

drops to below 50°C, the instrument will be automatically powered off. 

To turn off the instrument immediately, pull out the plug. In case of main 

power failure or disconnection, the residual heat warning will not work. 

 

Stirring 

 

Stirring is switched on  /  off by pressing the speed setting knob. The 

speed is set by rotating the knob in the range of 50-1500rpm.   

 

Faults 

 

 

The device can’t work when powered on 

-

 

Check if the power line is connected properly 

-

 

Check if the fuse is broken or loose 

 

Fault in power on self test 

-

 

Power off the device and then restart 

 

Actual speed can’t reach the set value 

-

 

Media in high viscosity  may probably cause abnormal speed 

reduction of the motor 

 

 

 

The device can’t be powered off when switched off 

-

 

Check if the residual  heat warning function  is still on and the 

hotplate temperature is above 50°C (the setting indicator is lit)
