11. Reduce the speed:
•
If the medium splashes out of the vessel due to high speed
•
If the appliance is not running smoothly
•
If the container moves on the base plate
12. Do not move the device when it is connected to a power supply or during its operation.
13. Ensure that the product is used only for specified operations. It should not be used for
shaking hazardous or reactive solutions.
14. Give specific attention to the risks associated with:
•
Flammable materials
•
Flammable media with low steam pressure
•
Overfilling of medium
•
Incorrect vessel size
•
Unstable vessels
•
Glass breakage
15. Beware of the possibility of contamination or unwanted chemical reactions.
16. The RTD (PT 1000) sensor must always be immersed in the medium by at least 20mm.
17. The rating of the power supply must be within the specified rating.
18. The top surface will be hot after any heating operation. Do not touch the top surface
until the hot LED indication turns off.
19. Process pathogenic materials in a closed vessel under a suitable extractor hood.
Do not operate the instrument in explosive atmospheres, near hazardous
substances or under water.
20. The chemical reaction of PTFE can occur when in contact with molten or dissolved
alkaline earth metals, as well as, with fine partied powders of metals of the 2 and 3
group of the periodical system at temperatures above 300 to 400°C. Only elementary
fluorine, chlorine trifluoride and alkaline metals attack PTFE. Halogen hydrocarbons
have a reversible swelling effect. Only glass coated magnetic rods should be used in
combination with solute alkali metals or alkaline earth metals or at a temperature
above 250°C.
21. Do not cover the device, even partially, with elements such as metallic sheets or plates.
Ensure that the mounting plate remains clean and uncovered.
22. The socket must be earthed (protective ground contact).
23. Do not use the device if the ceramic set-up surface is damaged by scratches,
splinters or corrosion. A damaged set-up surface could break if used.
