• If the unit is not running smoothly
• If the base plate starts to move around
• Position the shaking vessels on the mat so that they are evenly spread out.
• Only use liquids that do not react dangerously to the extra energy produced through
processing. This also includes additional energy produced through light irradiation
and through surrounding temperatures.
• Ensure that the shaker is only used for the specied operation.
• Process pathogenic materials only in a closed vessel under a suitable extractor hood.
• For the user’s protection and for the proper operation of the unit, the voltage stated
