Safety instructions
Please observe the relevant safety information and guidlines as well
as work protection and accident prevention requirements for use in
the laboratory.
The IKA RH basic 1 was not constructed for operations in dangerous
atmospheres, for mixing dangerous substances or for operation
under water.
The instrument may not be operated in rooms with explosion hazard.
Furthermore, it has to be placed upon a fire-proof and/or not burnable
surface.
Attention - Magnetism! Effects of the magnetic field have
to be taken into account (e.g. data carriers, cardiatic pace-
makers ... ).
Risk of burns! Exercise caution when touching the housing
parts and the heating plate! The heating plate can reach tem-
peratures in excess of 350 °C.

Clicking noises may occur as a result of material expansion during
heating and cooling.
Caution: Only heat up mediums with ignition point higher than 450 °C.

When using PTFE-coated magnetic bars, the following hase to be
noted: Chemical reactions of PTFE occur in contact with molten
or dissolved alkaline and alkaline - earth metals, as well as with fine-
particled powders of metals of the 2. and 3. group of the periodical
system at temperatures above 300-400 °C. Only elementary fluorine,
chlorine trifluoride und alkaline metals do attack PTFE, halogen hydro-
carbons have a reversibly swelling effect.
