CAUTION:
•
When turning the controls off, be sure the indicator lights
are out.
•
Hot surface, avoid contact. The top surface of the hotplate
can remain hot for some time after the power is turned off.
Refer to the hot top indicator to determine when the top is
safe to touch. The hot top indicator will stay lit until the
top surface temperature drops below 40°C. Unit must
remain plugged in for the hot top indicator to function.
•
Gross weight of items placed on top plates should not
exceed 40 lbs.
Using the Temperature Probe:
The unit can be used with an optional temperature probe for direct,
precise control of the sample temperature. Install a support rod on the
rear of the housing to suspend the temperature probe into the sample.
CAUTION:
•
The coating on temperature probe may be damaged at
temperatures above 200°C.
•
When attaching accessories to the hotplate/stirrer unit, be
careful to avoid the unit becoming unstable and tipping
over. Don't attempt to support heavy objects with the
support rod.
1.
Plug the temperature probe into the connector on the back of the
unit. Note that the plug is polarized with one blade larger than
the other, so it needs to be inserted correctly.
2.
With the temperature probe plugged in, the external probe
indicator lights on the front panel. The display also shows
probe next to the measured temperature. These indicate that the
temperature is being controlled directly by the probe rather than
the top plate.
3.
Set the temperature as normal by pressing the heat key so the
heat indicator lights, then use the up and down arrow keys to set
the desired temperature.
4.
When finished using the temperature probe, unplug it, clean it,
and store in a safe place.

Accepts plug from optional temperature probe.
Power Entry Module:
Accepts power cord for providing line power to unit. Also houses
power line fuse.
Note: UK Models require fused cord. A larger fuse is contained in the
plug body.
CAUTION:
•
For continued circuit protection, and to avoid a fire
hazard, be sure to replace fuses with the same type and
rating. If fuse blows repeatedly, contact Technical Service.
•
Use only the optional temperature probe designed
specifically for the Hotplate/Stirrer.
Replacing the Fuses:
If the unit is plugged in and turned on but shows no indication of
power, it could mean that the fuse needs to be changed.
