Upon receiving the VWR Melting Point Apparatus, check to ensure that no damage
has occurred in shipment. It is important that any damage that occurred in transport
is detected at the time of unpacking. If you do find such damage the carrier must be
notified immediately.
DO NOT lift the unit by oven, power cord, or arm (Advanced only). After unpacking,
place the Melting Point Apparatus on a level bench or table, away from explosive
vapors. Ensure that the surface on which the unit is placed will withstand typical
heat produced by the unit and place the unit a minimum of 6” (15.2cm) from vertical
surfaces. Always place the unit on a sturdy work surface. Position the unit in such a
way that it is easy to reach and unplug the power cord from the back of the unit.
The Melting Point Apparatus is supplied with a power cord that is inserted into the IEC
connector on the back of the unit first, then it can be plugged into a properly grounded
outlet. The 120V unit plugs into a 120 volt, 50/60 Hz source. The 230V unit plugs into
a 230 volt, 50/60 Hz source.
