Please note the following WARNINGS: WARNING This warning is presented for compliance with California Proposition 65 and other regulatory agencies and only applies to the insulation in this product. This product contains refractory ceramic, refractory ceramic fiber or fiberglass insulation, which can produce respirable dust or fibers during disassembly.
Unpacking Remove your MIRAK hot plate, stirrer or stirring hot plate from the carton. Inspect to ensure that the unit has not been damaged during shipment. If the unit appears to have sustained shipping damage contact the distributor from whom you purchased this product or Barnstead/Thermolyne Customer Service at 800- 553-0039.
The electronic stirring speed control will maintain the speed setpoint when the unit is loaded at 2 RPM as displayed by the LED display on the unit. The motor in the MIRAK stirrers and stirring hot plates produces maximum stirring torque under normal laboratory load conditions, and is combined with a powerful magnet to provide exceptional magnetic coupling with a stirbar.
The Power Switch Your MIRAK unit has a separate ON/OFF power switch which is a black rocker switch located on the lower front corner of the right side as you're facing the unit. This separate power switch allows you to turn your MIRAK hot plate, stirrer or stirring hot plate on or off without disturbing your temperature and/or speed setting.
Your MIRAK hot plate or stirring hot plate will display 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 operation.
When using a probe with your MIRAK hot plate or stirring hot plate it is recommended that you use a clamp on a support rod to hold the probe in your solution.
To verify the temperature reading of the probe, insert a calibrated thermometer into a solution you are heating on the stirring hot plate. When the thermometer reading has stabilized, record the temperature readings given by both the thermometer and by the probe as indicated on the MIRAK display. To calibrate the probe: Unplug unit, turn unit upside down and remove screws from bottom.
Because the advanced electronic control in the MIRAK is capable of precisely regulating the top plate temperature, metal vessels and sand baths may be heated safely without the danger of the ceramic top breaking.
