• The voltage stated on the type plate must correspond to
the mains voltage.
Beware of hazards due to:
- flammable materials
-
combustible media with a low boiling temperature
- glass vessel breakage
- overfilling of media
- unsafe condition of container.
• The device will automatically restart in mode B and C fol-
lowing any interruption to the power supply
• The machine must only be opened by trained specialists,
even during repair. The instrument must be unplugged
from the power supply before opening. Live parts inside
the instrument may still be live for some time after un-
plugging from the power supply.
Covering or parts that are capable of
being removed from the unit without
accessory equipment have to be reattached to the unit
for safe operation in order to prevent, for example, the
ingress of fluids, foreign matter, etc..
• The equipment is not designed for overpressure use.
• The equipment is designed for operation at vacuum set-
tings up to 25 mbar.
• Certain applications and materials may be hazardous. You
should take precautions to prevent contact with, or inhala-
tion of, toxic liquids, gases, fumes, vapours or powders.
• Risks may also be posed by biological or microbiological
substances.
• Moving and rotating equipment parts also constitute a
hazard.
• Rotating tools are dangerous!
The anchor stirrer and the dispersing element must only
be operated when the reactor vessel is fully closed. Do
not start up the laboratory reactor when it is open.
• If the dispersing element rotate when they are covered in
a product and the reactor is open, this will cause parts or
liquids to be projected outwards.
The reactor system must always be
ventilated when working under normal
pressure in order to prevent any pressure build-up caused
by highly volatile gases or unpredictable reaction pressure
gradients. Condense volatile gases using a cooler with a
standard ground connector (e.g. a reflux condenser) on
the reactor cover.
• The maximum permitted temperature inside the reactor
vessel is 230 °C. Do not exceed this temperature.
Safety Instructions
• Read the operating instructions in full before starting
up and follow the safety instructions.
• Keep the operating instructions in a place where they can
be accessed by everyone.
• Ensure that only trained staff work with the equipment.
• Follow the safety instructions, guidelines, occupational
health and safety and accident prevention regulations.
• Uncontrolled reactions can be triggered by mixing the
heated material insuciently or by the energy generated
by selecting a speed that is too high. In case of these and
other increased operational hazards, users must take ad-
ditional appropriate safety precautions. In any case, when
using critical or hazardous materials in your processes,
IKA
®
recommends to use additional appropriate mea-
sures to ensure safety in the experiment. For example, us-
ers can implement measures that inhibit fire or explosions
or comprehensive monitoring equipment. Furthermore,
users must make sure that the unit switch of the IKA
®
product can be accessed immediately, directly and with-
out risk at any time.
If installation or positioning cannot
ensure this access at all times, an ad-
ditional EMERGENCY STOP switch that can be easily
accessed must be installed in the work area.
• Only process media that will not react dangerously to the
extra energy produced through processing. This also ap-
plies to any extra energy produced in other ways, e.g.
through light irradiation.
• Do not operate the instrument in explosive atmospheres,
with hazardous substances or under water.
• Process pathogenic materials only under a suitable fume
hood. Please contact IKA
®
application support if you
have any question.
• The feet of the equipment must be clean and undam-
aged.
• Set up the device in a spacious area on an even, stable,
clean, non-slip, dry and fireproof surface.
• Protect the instrument and accessories from bumping and
impacting.
• Check the instrument and accessories beforehand for dam-
age each time when you use them. Do not use damaged
components.
• Safe operation is only guaranteed with the accessories de-
scribed in the ”Accessories” section.
• Always switch the device switch in the OFF position or
disconnect the power before changing and fitting any ac-
cessories.
• The instrument can only be disconnected from the mains
supply by pulling out the mains plug or the connector
plug.
• The socket for the mains cord must be easily accessible.
• Socket must be earthed (protective ground contact).
