immersion probe or a chemical-resistant 7”
Teflon immersion probe are available through
you distributor, or by contacting
Barnstead|Thermolyne at 800-553-0039.)
Your MIRAK 4-place stirrer or stirring hot
plate will accept any ungrounded Type K ther-
mocouple probe, however, the accuracy of
probes other than those we’ve tested and
specified may exceed the probe accuracy rat-
ing we’ve designated.
Your MIRAK 4-place stirring hot plate will dis-
play the temperature in °C. The display will
always indicate OFF or your last setpoint, and
the SET light will be illuminated until you
press the heat control knob to initiate opera-
tion. Once the heat control knob has been
pressed, the ACTUAL temperature of the top
plate or the probe will be displayed and the
SET light will no longer be illuminated. If you
want to check your setpoint, you do not have
to press the knob again; simply turn the knob
counterclockwise one click. Your setpoint will
be displayed for approximately five seconds
until the display returns to indicating the actu-
al temperature.
A single element covers the entire surface of
the 12” x 12” top plate and supplies even heat
to the entire surface. A single large vessel or
numerous smaller vessels can be heated any-
where on the top plate when the stirring func-
tion is not in use. Vessels to be heated only
do not have to be located at the center of
each silkscreen position.
If you want to ensure that the unit will not
heat if the knob is inadvertently pressed, turn
the temperature control knob until the display
indicates the word OFF.
