Safety Advice Before Use
For your own safety and the safety of the
mixer please read the following safety
instructions before using the Mini Vortex
Mixer.
v Gently take the Mini Vortex Mixer out of the
packaging and place it on a flat, stable,
clean, non-slippery surface.
v Do not lift or hold the device by the cable.
v Never move or carry the unit when in use or
connected to the mains electricity supply.
v The Mini Vortex Mixer should be used for the
specified application only. It must not be
operated in a hazardous or flammable
environment and must not be used to mix
explosive or highly reactive material.
v Overfilling of liquid may cause the medium
to spill out. You should therefore always use
covered test tubes.
v CAUTION! The equipment will restart, both
in the case of mains interruption and in the
case of any fault or mechanical interruption.
Care should be taken based on the sample
used for mixing.
v For best results only use to mix tubes up to
30mm diameter.
Operation
Position the apparatus on a firm level surface.
Operation starts automatically when the soft
rubber cup is pressed down by the test tube, and
stops once the test tube is removed. Before use
ensure that the speed control knob is turned
fully anti-clockwise. Rotate speed knob to
increase or decrease the speed between
2500-4500rpm. Rotate clockwise to increase the
speed and anti-clockwise to decrease the speed.
