Safety Advice

❖ Do not use the instrument to heat inflammable
liquids.
❖ Never lift or carry the instrument until it has
been switched off and allowed to cool for at
least 30 minutes. The hot warning light will
give guidance.
❖ The unit should be carried using both hands
with the fingers under the side edges.
❖ Never move or carry the unit with containers on
the top plate or while still connected to the
mains supply.
❖ There is a danger of liquid spillage if containers
are over-filled and stirred at high speed. Always
build stirrer speed slowly and never stir more
rapidly than necessary.
❖ NEVER place a cold glass vessel onto a hotplate
which is already hot.
❖ NEVER use a retort rod longer than 600mm.
