ATTENTION! Avoid delayed boiling!Never heat the evaporating flask in the heating bath withoutswitching on the rotary drive! If there are signs that the contentsof the flask are beginning to disintegrate in the course of a chemi-cal reaction or distillation (for example, sudden foaming or outga-ses) switch the heating off immediately and lift the evaporatingflask out of the heating bath using the stand. Evacuate the dangerzone and warn those in the surrounding area!ATTENTION! Rotating parts are a source of danger!Never rotate the evaporating flask on the raised stand.Always lower the stand for rotation. Ensure that parts of the body,hair, items of clothing and jewellery cannot get caught in rotatingparts.There may be dangerous electrostatic activity between the medi-um and the drive unit.Check that the filled distillation flask is balanced when setting thespeed. Imbalances can cause uncontrolled resonance behaviour inthe appliance/equipment which could damage or destroy glassequipment! Set the drive to a speed which ensures that none ofthe medium is catapulted out by the rotating evaporating flask inthe heating bath.Risk of burns! The motor and glass parts may be hot duringoperation and for a long time afterwards. Always wear yourpersonal protective equipment!If the power fails or the motor stops during operation, you mustremove the evaporating flask from the heat source immediately byraising the stand.The machine may only be opened by trained specialists - evenduring repairs. The machine is to be unplugged from the mainsbefore opening. Live parts inside the machine may still be live forsome time after unplugging from the mains.The IKA RV 05 basic is designed for evating solutions and forrapid distillation of liquids. The medium in the operating evapora-tor flask is circulated by rotation. The surface the liquid is increa-sed significantly by wetting the inner surface of the flask with theliquids. This results in a rapid exchange of heat through a large sur-face.Operating in a vacuum allows for gentle evaporation.Please unpack the equipment carefully and check for any dama-ges. It is important that any damages which may have arisenduring transport are ascertained when unpacking. If applicable afact report must be set immediately (post, rail or forwarder).The delivery scope covers:One IKA RV 05 basic, one extension, one fastening screw, onehexagon socket screw, one ring spanner and one set of operatinginstructions.11RV05b 012005Correct useUnpacking
