Upon receiving the VWR Vortex Mixer, check to ensure that no damage has occurred during

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 Vortex Mixer 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. Always place the unit on a sturdy work surface.

The Vortex Mixer is supplied with a power cord that should be plugged into a properly grounded

outlet. If the supplied power cord does not meet your needs, please use an approved power

cord that suits local codes and electric supply. Replacement of the plug must be made by a

qualified electrician.

OPERATING TIPS

These units are not intended for continuous use over extended periods of time. A

built-in temperature sensor will prevent the unit from overheating by shutting the

motor down. If this occurs, allow the motor to cool down and the unit will be able

to resume normal operation. Decrease the duration of the time unit is used between

rest periods.

NOTE: The cup head is permanently attached to the unit. DO NOT try to remove

or permanent damage will occur.

1. Make sure the 3-way rocker switch is in the center, off position. Plug the power

cord into a properly grounded outlet.

2. For continuous operation, push the rocker switch to the right, on position. For

intermittent/touch operation, push the rocker switch to the left, auto position.

3. In either case, turn the speed knob to 1. In the on position, you will see the

head in motion immediately. In the auto position, the vessel you are using must

be pushed down on the head attachment to achieve motion. To get the desired

mix, vary the speed, using the speed knob, and/or vary the angle of contact

and pressure against the head.

4. When finished with either continuous or intermittent operation, return rocker

switch to the center, off position.

5. The intermittent, auto mode is intended for short mixing times of one (1)

minute or less at full speed. A rest period of two (2) minutes is recommended

to minimize the possibility of overheating the motor. The unit can become

warm to the touch with constant use. There is nothing wrong with it. At high

performance settings the motor (UL recognized component) simply puts out

more heat.

6. To completely cut off power to the unit, disconnect the power cord from the

wall outlet.
