1.
Get ready:
Turn stir knob to the off position, at the extreme counter-clockwise position. Plug
power cord into a standard 3-prong grounded outlet. Place a vessel with the
solution and the appropriate accessories in the center of the top plate.
2.
Set speed:
Slowly turn the stir knob clockwise until the pointer reaches the desired set speed.
The stirrer may initially have to be set at a higher speed to overcome friction in
the motor and the material being stirred.
3.
Adjust speed:
Speed adjustments can be made without interrupting stirring by turning the
indicator knob clockwise to increase speed, or counter-clockwise to decrease speed.
4.
Stop:
To stop stirring, turn the stir knob to the extreme counter-clockwise position, until
it clicks. Your vessel can then be removed. The stirring knob should be kept in the
off position when not in use.
