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.
- When a retort rod is installed with apparatus
attached, or when swivelling support rods, take
care that there is sufficient weight on the plate
to prevent the whole unit tipping over.
- When using a retort stand, in order to provide
the unit with adequate ventilation the base of
the retort stand must NOT exceed 19.5 mm in
height and 125 mm in width.
- Ensure equipment is used on a clean, dry,
non-combustible, solid work surface with at least
300mm suitable clearance all around from other
equipment.
- Do not position the product so that it is difficult
to disconnect from the mains supply.
- Do not touch the heating element or any glass
vessel whilst in use.
- Do not lean or stretch over equipment, glassware
and fixings when in use.
- Do not immerse unit in water or fluids.
- Do not spill substances onto the equipment. If
spillage does occur, disconnect unit from mains
supply and follow instructions as detailed in
Cleaning an Care (page 6).

- Do not use in hazardous atmospheres or with
hazardous materials for which the equipment is
not designed.
- In the event there is an interruption in the mains
supply, the equipment will resume operation
once power is restored.
- Always follow good laboratory practice when
using this equipment. Give due recognition to
your company's safety and legislative health &
safety procedures and all associated legislation
applicable to your areas of operation. Check
laboratory procedures for substances being
heated and ensure all hazards (e.g. explosion,
implosion or the release of toxic or flammable
gases) that might arise have been suitably
addressed before proceeding. When heating
certain substances the liberation of hazardous
gases may require the use of a fume cupboard or
other means of extraction
