Safety instructions
Page /// General information
• Read the operating instructions in its entirety before using the
14
device and follow the safety instructions.
14
• Keep the operating instructions in a place where it can be accessed by
16
everyone.
16
• Ensure that only trained staff work with the device.
16
• Follow the safety instructions, guidelines, occupational health and safe-
17 ty and accident prevention regulations.
18 • Electrical outlet must be grounded (protective ground contact).
• Attention - Magnetism!
18
Effects of the magnetic field have to be taken into account (e.g. data
19
storage media, cardiac pacemakers ...).
19
• Risk of burns!
20
Exercise caution when touching parts of the housing and the heating plate.
20
The heating plate can reach dangerous temperatures. Pay attention to the
21
residual heat on the heating plate after switching off the stirrer.
22
The device may only be transported when the heating plate has cooled
23 down.
/// Device design
• Do not use the device in explosive atmospheres, it is not EX-protected.
• With substances capable of forming an explosive mixture, appropriate
safety measures must be applied, e.g. working under a fume hood.
• To avoid body injury and property damage, observe the relevant safety
and accident prevention measures when processing hazardous materials.
• Set up the device in a spacious area on an even, stable, clean, non-slip,
dry and fireproof surface.
• The feet of the device must be clean and undamaged.
• Ensure that the power cord set / temperature sensor cable does not
touch the heating plate.
• Check the device and accessories for damage before each use. Do not
use damaged components.
/// Permissible medium / contaminants / side reactions
• Only process media that will not react dangerously to the extra energy
produced through processing. This also applies to any extra energy pro-
duced in other ways, e.g. through light irradiation.
• Beware of hazards due to:
- flammable materials,
- combustible media with a low boiling temperature,
- glass breakage,
- incorrect container size,
- overfilling of media,
- unsafe condition of container.
• Process pathogenic materials only in closed vessels under a suitable
fume hood.
• In unsupervised and safe operation, this device may only handle or heat
media whose flash point is above the set safety temperature limit. The
safety temperature limit must always be set to at least 25 °C lower than
the flash point of the media used. (acc. to EN 61010-2-010)
• The heating plate can heat up due to the action of the magnets at high
motor speeds, even if the heater is switched off.
• Please consider any possible contaminations and unwanted chemical
reactions.
• It may be possible for wear debris from rotating accessory parts to reach
the material being processed.
• When using PTFE-coated magnetic bars, the following has to be noted:
Chemical reactions of PTFE occur in contact with molten or solute alkali
metals and alkaline earth metals, as well as with fine powders of metals
in groups 2 and 3 of the periodic system at temperatures above 300 °C
- 400 °C. Only elementary fluorine, chlorotrifluoride and alkali metals
attack it; halogenated hydrocarbons have a reversible swelling effect.

/// Procedures during sample runs
• Wear your personal protective equipment in accordance with the ha-
zard category of the media to be processed. There may be a risk from:
- splashing and evaporation of liquids,
- ejection of parts,
- release of toxic or combustible gases.
• Reduce speed if:
- medium splashes out of vessel because the speed is too high,
- device is not running smoothly,
- container moves on the base plate.
/// Accessories
• Safe operation is guaranteed only with the use of original IKA accessories.
• Ensure that the external temperature sensor is inserted into the medium
to a depth of at least 20 mm when connected.
• Always disconnect the plug before attaching accessories.
• Accessories must be securely attached to the device and cannot come
off by themselves. The centre of gravity of the assembly must lie within
the surface on which it is set up.
• Observe the operating instructions of the accessories.
/// Power supply / Switching off the device
• The device will automatically restart in mode B following any interrupti-
on to the power supply.
• The voltage stated on the type plate must correspond to the mains vol-
tage.
• The outlet for the mains plug must be easily accessible.
• The device can only be disconnected from the mains outlet by pulling
out the power cord set or the connector plug.
/// For protection of the equipment
• The device may only be opened by qualified and IKA approved experts.
• Do not cover the device, even partially e.g. with metallic plates or film.
This may result in overheating.
• Protect the device and accessories from bumps and impacts.
• Keep the base plate clean.
• Observe the minimum distances:
- between devices min. 100 mm,
- between device and wall min. 100 mm,
- above the device min. 800 mm.
