SAFETY INFORMATION
Warning
THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS REFRACTORY CERAMIC, REFRACTORY CERAMIC FIBER
OR FIBERGLASS (GLASS WOOL) INSULATION WHICH CAN PRODUCE RESPIRABLE
FIBERS AND DUST WHEN HANDLED. THESE FIBERS OR DUSTS CAN CAUSE IRRITA-
TION AND CAN AGGRAVATE PREEXISTING RESPIRATORY DISEASE. REFRACTO-
RY CERAMIC INSULATIONS MAY CONTAIN OR MAY FORM CRYSTALLINE SILICA
(CRYSTOBALITE) WHICH MAY CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE (SILICOSIS).
THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER (IARC) HAS CLASSI-
FIED REFRACTORY CERAMIC FIBER AND FIBERGLASS AS (2B) POSSIBLY CARCINO-
GENIC. IARC HAS CLASSIFIED CRYSTALLINE SILICAAS (2A) PROBABLY
CARCINOGENIC.
The insulating materials are located in the door, the hearth collar, in the chamber of the
product or the top plate assembly. Tests performed by the manufacturer indicate that there
is no significant risk of exposure to dust or respirable fibers resulting from operation of this
equipment under normal conditions. However, there may be a risk of exposure to respirable
dusts or fibers when repairing or maintaining the insulating materials, or when otherwise
disturbing the materials in a manner which causes release of dust or fibers therefrom.
Through the use of proper handling procedures you can work safely with these insulating
materials and minimize any exposure. Accordingly, before you repair or replace any insulat-
ing materials, or perform any other servicing on this product which could disturb or cause
exposure to dust from insulating materials, you should consult the appropriate Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) for such products with respect to proper handling and appro-
priate protective equipment. For additional MSDSs, or additional information concerning
the handling of refractory ceramic products, please contact the Customer Service
Department of Barnstead|Thermolyne Corporation at 1-800-446-6060 or 1-800-553-0039.

Specifications
Your Cimarec stirring hot plate is a general
purpose heating/stirring device intended for
laboratory procedures requiring temperatures
from 150C to 538C (SP47235, SP47235-60
and SP47234 range from 120C to 370C)
and stirring capability from 100 1000 rpm. A
vessel with a flat bottom is recommended on
the stirring hot plate for ideal heat transfer.
Avoid metal containers or vessels with a rim
around the bottom as these could cause dam-
age to the stirring hot plate.
General Usage
Do not use this product for anything other
than its intended usage.

Introduction
Note
This unit contains materials
which may emit a slight odor or
smoke during initial operation.
This will dissipate within a few
minutes and will not effect the
operation or performance of the
hot plate.
These Cimarec stirring hot
plates are not rated for use in
corrosive environments. Use in
a corrosive environment will
damage their components and
degrade their performance.
Some shifting of motor bearings may have
occurred during shipping and handling. Prior to
first use, the stirrer should be run at maximum
speed for 10 minutes to realign the motor
bearings.
Both the temperature and speed controls are
combination ON/OFF switches and setting
selectors.
To Select a Temperature
Turn the control clockwise to the desired setting.
The lighted heat indicator shows when the unit
is turned on. The control maintains a set tem-
perature of the stirring hot plate by turning the
power on and off over short time intervals. The
greater the percentage of time the power is on,
the higher the temperature. At the high position,
power is on continuously and maximum temper-
ature is obtained. From the OFF position, the
knob may be turned to either the right or the
left. For fast heat up, turn the knob to the high
position. When the desired temperature is
reached, reduce the setting to the point where
the temperature will be maintained.
To Select a Speed
Turn the speed control clockwise until the
desired mixing action is achieved. The lighted
stir indicator shows when the unit is stirring.
Stirring capability from 100 to 1000 rpm. Unit
comes complete with a stir bar that is coated
with Teflon Fluorocarbon Resin.*

Operation
Warning
Gross weight of items placed on
top of Hot Plates should not
exceed 25 lbs. (11.4 kg.) on the
7 x 7 and 12 x 12 models,
and 10 lbs. (4.5 kg.) on the
4 x 4 model.
Refer servicing to qualified per-
sonnel.
Disconnect from power supply
before servicing.
Do not use in the presence of
flame or combustible materials -
fire or explosion may result .
This device contains compo-
nents which may ignite such
materials.
Do not use metal foil on hot
plate. Do not use sand bath,
metal containers or other insula-
tion material on the stirring hot
plate - Top plate can be dam-
aged and shock hazard can
exist.
Caution
When turning the control OFF,
be sure the knob is in the OFF
position and the indicator light is
out.
