Set Up Intruction
The stirring hotplate Favorit HS0707V2 is a general purpose laboratory heating and
stirring instrument.
Place the instrument on a level and dry bench-top.
Liquid to be heated should be contained in a flat bottom vessel for efficient heat
transfer. If using glass containers, ensure that they are made of heat resistant glass
such as borosilicate. It is not recommended to use containers made of sodalime
glass or metal. Avoid using heavy containers or containers with insulating materials
like sand baths.
This instrument must be connected to a poperly grounded power outlet to avoid
shock hazard. The power supply requirementis 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz single phase. If
in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
Do not use the instrument in corrosive atmospheresor in the presence of hazardous,
flammable or combustible materials. The instrument should be installed at least 12
inches away from combustible materials. It should not be used for heating flammable
liquids or solids.
Use the instrument for its intended purpose only and in the mannner that it should be
operated. Practise extreme caution when operating the instrument.

Operating Instruction
During initial operation, a slight odour or smoke may be emitted from the heater
insulating material. However, this will dissipate within a few minutes and will not
affect the operation or performance of the hot plate.
Be extremely careful when working with corrosive liquids. Use hand and eye
protection when handling hazardous chemicals. Do not use the instrument to heat
flammable substances.
The top plate surface would remain hot even the unit has been turned off for some
time. Avoid contact.
Hot Plate Operation
1. Carefully pour the liquid to be heated into the vessel. Place the vessel on the
top plate.
2. Turn the HEAT control knob clockwise toposition 1 on the scale and the
amber Heat indicator light up. This turns on the heater and the hot plate starts to
heat up to minimum temperature.
3. To increase the temperature, turn the HEAT control knob clockwise to the
required setting. To decrease the temperature, turn the HEAT control knob counter-
clockwise. The scale of 1 to 10 surrounding the control knob serves as an
indication of the heating power.
4. Always turn the HEAT control knob to the Off position when heating is not
longer required.
Stirrer Operation
1. Gently drop a stirring bar into a flat bottom vessel. Carefully pour the solution
to be mixed into the vessel. Place the vessel on the top plate.
2. Turn the STIR contol knob clockwise until a click is heard. This turns on the
magnetic stirrer and the green Stir indicator light up. The stirring bar can be seen
rotating with minimum speed.
3. To increase the speed, turn the ;STIR contol knob clockwise until the required
mixing action is achieved. To decrease the speed, turn the STIR control knob
counter-clockwise. It is advisable to increase or decrease the speed gradually. The
scale of 1 to 10 surrounding the control knob serves as an indication of the stirring
strength.
4. Ensure that the stirring action does not cause the liquid to splash out of the
container.
5. Always turn the STIR control knob to the Off position when stirring is not
longer required.
