For your protection
• Read the operation instructions in full before starting

up and follow the safety instructions.

• Keep the operation instructions in a place where they can be
accessed by everyone.
• Ensure that only trained staff work with the appliance.
• Follow the safety instructions, guidelines, occupational health
and safety and accident prevention regulations.
• Socket must be earthed (protective ground contact).
Before starting the device for the first time, ensure that the
connector cable is suitable for the type of socket used and that

a safe protective earth connection is assured.
Caution - Magnetism! Effects of the magnetic field have to be

taken into account (e.g. data storage media, cardiac pacemakers ...).
• Risk of burns! Exercise caution when touching the housing
parts and the heating plate. The heating plate can reach tem-
peratures in excess of 310 °C. Pay attention to the residual
heat after switching off.
• Ensure that the mains power supply cable does not touch the
heating base plate.
• Wear your personal protective equipment in accordance with
the hazard category of the media to be processed. Otherwise
there is a risk from:
- splashing and evaporation of liquids
- ejection of parts
- release of toxic or combustable gases.
• Set up the appliance in a spacious area on an even, stable,
clean, non-slip, dry and fireproof surface.
• The feet of the appliance must be clean and undamaged.
• Check the appliance and accessories beforehand for damage
each time you use them. Do not use damaged components.
• Gradually increase the speed.
• Reduce the speed if
- the medium splashes out of the vessel because the speed is
too high
- the appliance is not running smoothly
- the container moves on the base plate.
Caution! Only process and heat up any media that has a flash

point higher than the adjusted safe temperature limit that has
been set (50 to 360 °C).
The safe temperature limit must always be set to at least 25 °C
lower than the fire point of the media used.
• Beware of hazards due to:
- flammable materials
- combustible media with a low boiling temperature
- glass breakage
