Caution! (
)
Device surface is partially made of glass!
› Glass surface can be damaged by impact.
› If glass surface is damaged it could cause injury, don't use
the device anymore and contact your IKA Service team.
/// Permissible medium /
contaminants / side reactions
Caution! ( )
Only process and heat media that has a flash point higher than the adjusted
safe temperature limit that has been set. The safety temperature limit must
always be set to at least + 25 °C lower than the fire point of the media used.
Warning! ( )
Beware of hazards due to:
› flammable materials.
› combustible media with a low boiling temperature.
› glass breakage.
› incorrect container size.
› overfilling of media.
› unsafe condition of container.
› Process pathogenic materials only in closed vessels under
a suitable fume hood.
Please contact IKA if you have any questions.

Safety instructions
Danger! (
)
Only process media that will not react dangerously to the extra energy pro-
duced through processing. This also applies to any extra energy produced in
other ways, e.g. through light irradiation.
› The heating plate can heat up due to the action of the magnets
at high motor speeds, even if the heater is switched off.
› Please consider any possible contaminations and unwanted
chemical reactions.
› It may be possible for wear debris from rotating accessory parts
to reach the material being processed.
› When using PTFE-coated magnetic bars, the following has to be noted:
Chemical reactions of PTFE occur in contact with molten or solute alkali metals
and alkaline earth metals, as well as with fine powders of metals in groups
2 and 3 of the periodic system at temperatures above + 300 °C to + 400 °C.
Only elementary fluorine, chlorotrifluoride and alkali metals attack it;
halogenated hydrocarbons have a reversible swelling effect.

/// Procedures during sample runs
Warning! ( )
Wear your personal protective gear in accordance with the hazard
category of the media to be processed. There may be a risk from:
› splashing and evaporation of liquids.
› ejection of parts.
› release of toxic or combustible gases.
Reduce speed if:
› medium splashes out of vessel because the speed is too high.
› device is not running smoothly.
› container moves on the heating plate.
› an error message is displayed.
