from 50 rpm through 1500 rpm at ±5.0%. (Maximum
speed is dependent on viscosity of the solution.)
To set the speed, turn the STIR knob to your desired
setting. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the speed
or counter-clockwise to decrease the speed with 10 rpm
increments. To discontinue stirring, turn knob counter-
clockwise to OFF.
