switch into the OFF position. In this mode, you may use any of the accessory
attachments available for the VORTEX-GENIE
®
2 Mixer.
Review instruction
No. 3.0 before attempting to change attachments.
Note: The speed control switch should be set between positions 3 and 10 to
enable the mixing action to start. After the action has started, you may, if
desired, reduce the speed below position 3 for the duration of the run.
Before re-starting the mixer, re-set the speed control to a setting higher than
position 3.
3.0 - To change accessory mixing attachments, the following sequence is to be
followed explicitly.
3.1 - Turn the power OFF by placing the toggle switch into the OFF position.
3.2 - Grasp the installed attachment and pull straight up until it releases from the
shaft. A technique of lifting the attachment with your finger tips while using
your knuckles as a fulcrum will give you the leverage to remove the installed
attachment component smoothly.
3.3 - Hold the part you wish to install so the "flat" part of the shaft is aligned with
the "flat" of the receptacle in the attachment. Alternatively, you may place the
attachment on the shaft and turn it until you feel the "flats" aligning.
3.4 - Press attachment firmly downward until it "snaps" into place. The VORTEX-
GENIE 2 Mixer is now ready to use with the newly installed accessory
attachment.
4.0 - With prolonged use, your VORTEX-GENIE 2 Mixer may become warm to the
touch. The motor will radiate a certain amount of heat that will dissipate by the
cast zinc housing.
CAUTION! Do not lift your VORTEX-GENIE 2 Mixer by its attachment. All
attachments, including the Pop-off Cup and the 3-inch Platform are removable.
They will pop off easily if you lift them, and snap back on again just as easily
by aligning the flats and pressing down firmly.
CAUTION! If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the man-
ufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
CARE AND HANDLING
Your VORTEX-GENIE 2 Mixer should be given the care normally required for any
electrical appliance. Avoid wetting or unnecessary exposure to fumes. The finish can
be washed with water (after unplugging) and soap or detergents, using a cloth or
sponge. Keep the unit clean by immediately blotting any spills. Replacement parts
are available through most laboratory equipment distributors or directly from Scientific
Industries. Refer to "Parts Assembly List" and enclosed multi-fold brochure.
CAUTION! Unplug from power before cleaning. Do not immerse. Do not
position the equipment so that it is difficult to disconnect the power cord.
