3 Setup and startup
If you have any externally visible damage, contact the carrier or delivery person.
Set up the hotplate on a horizontal, flat and non-slip floor surface. The installation site should not be sur-
rounded by flammable materials and other items. An all-round distance of at least 0.3 meters is required.
Prior to connecting to the power supply, please compare if the data on the nameplate corresponds with the
power supply voltage!. The nameplate is located on the bottom plate of the unit. Plug the power plug into
the provided socket. The power supply socket used must always be easily accessible.
General, proper use
The decor marks the centre of the heating surface. The surface is hot even outside of the decoration. The
cooking process can be stopped quickly by simply moving the vessel from the hot zone to colder adjacent
areas.
The laboratory hotplate has an indicator light for a residual heat display that lights up when the tempera-
ture has exceeded a certain value of the glass ceramic, and a risk of burns exists. the wall outlet or power
failure, the residual heat indicator is inoperative. After the laboratory digester is reconnected to the mains,
the residual heat indicator on again. As long as the residual heat indicator lights up, the switched off hot-
plate is still hot and can be used energy-saving. This residual heat indicator warns of a risk of burns. After
sufficient cooling, the residual heat indicator extinguishes.
Please only transport the laboratory hotplate after the laboratory hotplate is sufficiently cooled and the re-
sidual heat display is off.
Attention! If you unplug the power plug from the wall outlet or at a power failure, the residual heat indicator
is inoperative. After reconnecting the laboratory hotplate to the power supply, the residual heat indicator is
illuminated again.

Caution: Risk of burns!
Always switch off the laboratory hotplate after use.
Observe the cleaning and maintenance instructions.
If sugar, plastic or aluminium foil accidentally get on the hot zones of the heating surfaces, do not switch
off the laboratory hotplate, but remove these substances immediately with a razor blade.

Caution: Risk of burns!
Slide a razor blade in again after using the scraper blade. Risk of injuries!
Please clean the cooking zones again when in a cold state.
First cleaning and first heating
At the initial heating of a laboratory hotplate or prolonged non-use, small dust particles from burning and
by evaporating the water in the insulation create a temporary odour. To remove accessible dust particles
on the glass ceramic heating surface, clean the glass ceramic surface with a mild detergent. Then wipe
the clean surface dry with a soft cloth.
