INSTALLATI N
Upon receiving the VWR Hotplate/Stirrer/Hotplate-Stirrer, check to ensure that
no damage has occurred in shipment. It is important that any damage that
occurred in transport is detected at the time of unpacking. If you do find such
damage the carrier must be notified immediately.
After unpacking, place the Hotplate/Stirrer/Hotplate-Stirrer on a level bench or
table, away from explosive vapors. Ensure that the surface on which the unit is
placed will withstand typical heat produced by the unit and place the unit a min-
imum of 15,2 centimeters from vertical surfaces. Always place the unit on a stur-
dy work surface.
The Hotplate/Stirrer/Hotplate-Stirrer is supplied with a power cord that is insert-
ed into the IEC connector on the back of the unit first, then it can be plugged
into a properly grounded outlet. The unit plugs into a 230 volt, 50/60 Hz source.
MAINTENANCE & SERVICING
The Hotplate/Stirrer/Hotplate-Stirrer is built for long, trouble-free, dependable
service. It needs no user maintenance beyond keeping the surfaces clean. The
unit should be given the care normally required for any electrical appliance. Avoid
wetting or unnecessary exposure to fumes. Spills should be removed promptly
after the unit has cooled down. Do not use a cleaning agent or solvent on the
front panel or top plate which is abrasive or harmful to plastics, nor one which
is flammable. Always ensure the power is disconnected from the unit prior to any
cleaning. If the unit ever requires service, contact your VWR representative.
CLEANING CERAMIC T PS:
First remove any burnt-on deposits or spills from the top plate with a scraper
(similar to scraping paint off of windowpanes in your home). For your safety,
please wear an insulated mit when using a metal scraper. When the top plate has
cooled, apply a few dabs of a non-abrasive cleaner over the surface with a damp
paper towel. As a final step, clean with water and wipe surface with a clean, dry
paper towel.
CLEANING ALUMINIUM T PS:
For simple dust and dirt, clean the aluminium top by using a damp cloth with
soap and water. For more stubborn deposits, try using a flat edge wooden spat-
ula to scrape off as much as possible. For more stubborn stains, try using a cou-
ple of tablespoons of white vinegar to two pints of water and mix well. Dip a
clean cloth into the mixture and gently rub the exterior of the aluminium sur-
face. Generally, it is not a good idea to use abrasive pads or cleaners on aluminium,
as the metal will scratch easily. If you must use some type of abrasive, try apply-
ing baking soda to the surface and then rubbing with a moist cloth. This will
work as well as most scouring pads and is less likely to create deep scratches in
the surface. Be careful not to use steel wool or scouring pads as they can leave
the aluminium riddled with little scratches that make it harder to clean in the
future. If you feel you must use steel wool, use the finest grade you can find
and use as sparingly as possible with as little pressure as possible. Go with the
grain rather than using circular motions.
INTENDED USE
These Hotplate/Stirrers/Hotplate-Stirrers are intended for general laboratory use.

HEATING PERATING INSTRUCTI NS
The Hotplates and Hotplate-Stirrers have a micro-processor controlled heater
that is designed to bring samples to temperature quickly and accurately.
1. Getting ready:
a. Turn the heat knob to the off position. Plug power cord into a properly
grounded 3-prong outlet.
b. Place a vessel with solution and the appropriate accessories in the
center of the top plate. This is important because the vessel should
be over the hottest part of the top plate.
2. Setting temperature for Advanced Series:
a. Turn the heat knob clockwise until the display reaches the desired heat
setting. The display will flash the set-point temperature until the tem-
perature is reached, at which time the display will stopflashing. When
the heat is turned on the indicator light above the heat knob is illu-
minated. Removing or adding more to a sample content could cause
the temperature to fluctuate. If this occurs, the display will againstart
to flash until the set-point value is stabilized.
b. Temperature adjustments can be made without interrupting heating
by turning the heat knob clockwise to increase heat or counter-
clockwise to decrease heat.
c. To stop heating, turn the heat knob to the off position. Your vessel
can then be removed.
Caution hot top indicator:
The caution hot top indicator light warns that
the top plate is too hot to touch. The caution
hot top indicator light will illuminate when
the heat is turned on and remain on until the top
plate cools down.
Recall last temperature button:
Advanced Series Hotplate/Hotplate-Stirrers have a built-in memory that
allows users to recall the last set temperature, even after the unit has been
turned off. (The temperature in memory is the last temperature that ran for
more than 5 minutes.)
Max Temperature:
If the unit has an aluminium top, the max temperature setting is 400°C. If
the unit has a ceramic top, the max temperature setting is 500°C.
PERATING TIPS
The unit may overshoot the temperature up to 10°C before stabilizing at the
set-point. The two methods suggested to minimize overshoot are:
1. Metal containers minimize overshoot. CAUTI N: When heating metal
containers on a ceramic top it is recommended to use the lowest
temperature setting possible to limit thermal stress to the ceramic top.
2. If a glass vessel is used, anticipate overshoot. Start with a setting 5-10°C
below the desired temperature. When the temperature stabilizes at
this lower setting, turn the heat knob to the final temperature.
Overshoot is then reduced to about 1°C.
The temperature display on the advanced units show the actual temperature
of the heater not the top plate or sample. The vessel contents being heated
may be at a lower temperature depending on the size and insulating qualities
of the vessel. It may be beneficial to monitor the temperature of the vessel
contents and adjust the set-point temperature accordingly.

TEMPERATURE CALIBRATI N PR CEDURE (SINGLE PINT CALIBRATI N, ADVANCED SERIES)
This method can be used for calibrating the top plate surface of the Advanced Series
unit.
To set a Single Point Calibration (SPC) adjustment:
a. Turn the heat knob clockwise until the display reaches the desired heat
setting, and let the unit stabilize to the user input temperature. The
heater temperature has stabilized when the temperature display is no
longer blinking and the unit will beep five times.
b. Wait ten minutes for the surface temperature to stabilize. Measure the
top plate with a traceable surface temperature measuring device.
c. Press and hold the Last Temperature button. The display will start to
scroll through the available SPC options (“UP”, “dn”, “SEt” and “dEL”) as
long as the Last Temperature button is held down. Once you select “UP”
or “dn” mode and release the Last Temperature button the unit will beep
two times and the display will begin to blink quickly. This lets you know
you are programming in SPC mode.
N TE: There is a thirty second time out (Last Temperature button must be
pressed at least once in thirty seconds, or unit will exit SPC mode). Do not
touch the heat knob while in SPC mode. If the heat knob is adjusted dur-
ing this procedure you will exit SPC mode.
d. Once the desired option is displayed, release the Last Temperature button.
Please see the explanation below for each option.
e. Selecting the “SEt” option saves the Single Point Calibration adjustment
for that temperature set point and allows you to exit this SPC mode (see
Section c). When the “SEt” option is selected “SEt” will be displayed. To
save the current SPC point and exit the SPC programming mode, release
the Last Temperature button when “SEt” is on the display. The display will
now show your set point temperature with a decimal point for that set-
ting.
f. Select the “UP” option if your externally measured temperature of the top
plate is higher than the set point on the display. When the “UP” option
is selected the current SPC adjusted temperature is displayed and blink-
ing quickly. To increase the SPC, press and release the Last
Temperature button multiple times (do not touch heat knob) until the
display reads the value you recorded as the measured temperature of the
top plate. Changes are not saved until the “SEt” option is selected (and
the Last Temperature button is pressed and released), if the temperature
is adjusted too high, delete the SPC adjustment and repeat procedure.
g. Select the “dn” option if your externally measured temperature of the top
plate is lower than the set point on the display. When the “dn” option
is selected the current SPC adjusted temperature will be displayed and
blinking quickly. To decrease the SPC, press and release the Last
Temperature button multiple times (do not touch the heat knob) until
the display reads the value you recorded as the measured temperature of
the top plate. Changes are not saved until the “SEt” option is selected
(and the Last Temperature button is pressed and released), if the temper-
ature is adjusted too low, delete the SPC adjustment and repeat procedure.
h. Selecting the “dEL” option will delete all Single Point Calibration points
and allow you to exit this SPC mode (see Section c). When the “dEL”
option is selected “dEL” will be displayed. To delete all SPC points and
exit the SPC mode release the Last Temperature button when “dEL” is on
the display.
i. For set point temperatures with a SPC adjustment, there will be a decimal
point in the display. Once the SPC adjustment is set, the display will blink
while the unit’s temperature is settling. When the SPC set point is
reached, the display will stop blinking and the unit will beep five times.
j. This process may be repeated for up to three separate set points. If a
fourth SPC set point is entered, the first set point will be overwritten. To
readjust an existing SPC set point, you must delete the current settings
(all SPC points will be deleted, and the decimal points will no longer be
displayed at those temperatures) and repeat the SPC procedure. If SPC
adjustments are not deleted prior to resetting SPC for a set point then
the temperature adjustment will not be accurate
k. The SPC adjustments are limited to the maximum and minimum tempera-
tures and limits allowed by the particular unit.

The micro-processor controlled ramping feature slowly increases speed until
the set-point is reached. This feature helps to avoid splashing, improves
magnetic coupling and provides excellent low end control. The micro-proces-
sor also monitors and regulates the stirring speed, sensing your requirements
whether you're stirring an aqueous, viscous or semi-solid solution.
Initial stirring speed may exceed set speed if the following conditions exist:
1. The stirrer is set at a low speed and the stirrer has not been operated for
a extended period of time.
2. The stirrer is set at a low speed and it is the stirrer's initial use.
1. Getting ready:
a. Turn stir knob to the off position. Plug power cord into a properly
grounded outlet.
b. Place a vessel with solution and the appropriate spin bar in the
center of the top plate.
2. Setting speed:
a. Turn the stir knob clockwise until the pointer reaches the desired speed
setting. The stir indicator light above the stir knob will illuminate to
indicate the stirring feature is in use. The stir indicator light will blink
while reaching the set-point. Once the set-point is reached the light
will remain lit.
b. Speed adjustments can be made without interrupting stirring by
turning the stir knob clockwise to increase speed, or counter-clockwise
to decrease speed.
c. To stop stirring, turn the stir knob to the off position. Your vessel
can then be removed.
Stir protection for Hotplate-Stirrers:
If stirrer motor stops or fails, the unit will automatically shut down
the heater.
PERATING TIPS
The stirrer increases speed at a steady rate until the set-point is reached, if
the stir bar is too large or the liquid is too viscous, the stirrer may not reach
its set-point. The set-point speed needs to be reduced. The magnetic
strength of stir bars reduce over time and may need to be replaced.
Stirring vessels in oil baths:
When heating and stirring a reaction vessel within an oil bath or similar
set-up, the stirring function will stir up to approximately 2,54cm
from the top plate. The stirring speed will vary according to liquid
viscosity, stir bar length and distance from the top plate. Adjust one
or all of these to achieve the desired stirring speed.
EXAMPLE: The closer the reaction vessel is to the top plate the stronger
the magnetic connection.

INSTALLATION
À la réception du dispositif Plaque chauffante/Agitateur/Agitateur à plaque chauffante VWR,
effectuez une inspection afin de garantir qu’il n’y a pas eu de dommage pendant l’expédition. Il
est important de détecter toute trace de dommage qui aurait pu se produire pendant le transport
au moment du déballage. Si vous détectez ce type de dommage, le transporteur doit être averti
immédiatement.
Après avoir déballé le dispositif Plaque chauffante/Agitateur/Agitateur à plaque chauffante, pla-
cez-le sur une paillasse ou une table à niveau, à l’écart de vapeurs explosives. Assurez-vous que
la surface sur laquelle le dispositif est placé pourra supporter une chaleur type générée par le
dispositif. Installez le dispositif à à plus de 15 cm minimum des surfaces verticales. Placez tou-
jours le dispositif sur une surface de travail solide.
Le dispositif Plaque chauffante/Agitateur/Agitateur à plaque chauffante est fourni avec un cor-
don d’alimentation qui est inséré dans le connecteur CEI au dos du dispositif d’abord puis bran-
ché dans une prise correctement mise à la terre. Le dispositif se branche sur une source d’alimen-
tation 230 volt - 50/60 Hz.
MAINTENANCE ET RÉ ARATION
Le dispositif Plaque chauffante/Agitateur/Agitateur à plaque chauffante est conçu pour une uti-
lisation fiable, longue durée et sans problème. Pour ce qui est des opérations de maintenance, il
suffit de nettoyer les surfaces. Le dispositif doit être entretenu comme un appareil électrique nor-
mal. Il ne doit pas être mouillé ou exposé à des fumées. Les liquides renversés doivent être net-
toyés tout de suite après le refroidissement du dispositif. N’utilisez pas de décapants ou d’agent
de nettoyage sur le panneau avant ou sur la plaque supérieure qui soit abrasif ou risque d’en-
dommager les matières plastiques, ni un produit inflammable. Avant tout nettoyage, assurez-vous
que le dispositif est hors tension. Si le dispositif nécessite une maintenance, contactez votre
représentant VWR .
NETTOYAGE DE LA SURFACE CÉRAMIQUE:
Utilisez d’abord un racleur pour enlever tout produit renversé ou déposé et brûlé sur la plaque
supérieure (avec un mouvement similaire à celui utilisé pour enlever la peinture des carreaux).
Pour votre sécurité, veuillez utiliser un gant isotherme quand vous utilisez un racleur métallique.
Après le refroidissement de la plaque supérieure, appliquez quelques gouttes d’un agent de net-
toyage non abrasif sur la surface en utilisant un essuie-tout humide. Dans un dernier temps, net-
toyez la surface avec de l’eau et essuyez la surface avec un essuie-tout sec et propre.
NETTOYAGE DE LA SURFACE EN ALUMINIUM:
Pour nettoyer la poussière et la crasse, utilisez un chiffon humide avec de l’eau et du savon pour
nettoyer la surface en aluminium. Pour les dépôts que vous avez du mal à faire partir, essayez
d’utiliser une spatule en bois à bord plat pour nettoyer la surface autant que possible en raclant.
Pour les taches que vous avez du mal à éliminer, essayez d’utiliser quelques cuillères à café de
vinaigre blanc dans un litre d’eau bien mélangé. Trempez un chiffon propre dans ce mélange et
frottez délicatement l’extérieur de la surface en aluminium. En général, il n’est pas une bonne
idée d’utiliser des tampons abrasifs ou des produits nettoyants sur l’aluminium car le métal s’égra-
tigne facilement. Si vous devez utiliser un produit abrasif, essayez d’appliquer du bicarbonate de
soude à la surface et frottez avec un chiffon humide. Cela est tout aussi efficace que la plupart
des tampons à récurer et le risque de créer des égratignures profondes est minimisé. Assurez-
vous de ne pas utiliser des pailles de fer ou des tampons à récurer car ils peuvent créer beau-
coup de petites égratignures qui rendent la surface plus difficile à nettoyer à l’avenir. Si vous
estimez qu’il faut utiliser une paille de fer, utilisez la paille la plus fine possible et aussi peu
que possible en appliquant le moins de pression possible. Au lieu d’utiliser des mouvements cir-
culaires, suivez le grain de la surface.
