2 Getting started
2.1 Setting up the unit
• Using the supplied drilling template, drill three holes and insert the wall plugs.
!
Please assure there are no water or
electricity lines in the wall before drilling.
• Screw the top two screws into the holes you have made.
• Hang the Multivac eco onto these screws.
• Secure the unit by screwing in the third screw, which is located at the lower column.
• Connect the unit to the mains supply.
The socket for the mains connection is located on the right hand side of the rear of the unit.
2.2 Operation
• Fill the mixing flask with the materials you wish to stir.
Please do not fill the flask above the maximum filling level shown on the side.
When mixing powder and liquid together, it is advisable to stir the two components well
with a spatula beforehand.
• Remove any remnants of powder from the flask rim and set the stirring section on top.
• Press the mixing flask up under the coupling and turn on the vacuum pump.
Hold on to the mixing flask until the vacuum level is high enough to hold the flask in position
alone.
Keep an eye on the material in the flask. If it starts to rise up inside the flask quickly, and
reaches a point about 1 cm below the rim, then you should turn on the stirring mechanism
to avoid material being sucked into the vacuum system.
• Start the stirring mechanism by turning the timer to the required value.
After the set time has elapsed, stirring will stop automatically.
• Hold on to the flask once more and turn off the vacuum pump.
Please remember that the flask is not held in position once the vacuum has been turned off.
2.3 Mixing of Silicones
• For the mixing of silicones, it is imperative not to exceed the maximum filling of the mixing vessels
(small vessel max. 100 g, large vessel max. 400 g). Mixing duration is 75 secs.
