Packaging Contents

1. Mini Vortexer

2. Power Adapter with 4 plugs

(North America, Japan, EU, UK, and Australia)

3. 2 Flexible Vortexer Caps

Operation

1. Remove the contents from the package, examining them carefully for

breakage, defects, or missing parts. Save the packaging.

2. If necessary see package insert for assembly instructions.

3. Place Mini Vortexer on a sturdy, stable, level surface near a grounded

electrical outlet away from the edge of the counter and other moving

equipment. The surface should be clean. Ensure that no person or

hazardous substances are present within a 12" (30cm) zone around

the instrument when operating. Make sure the power cord is clear of

hot surfaces and other hazards.

4. Carefully ll container with uids to no more than 75% of container's

total volume. Note the level of the liquid which will rise to

accommodate the spinning vortex of uid when unit is powered. Be

sure to leave sufcient room at the container top for this rise in uid

level.

5. Secure the container lid to the tube being used.

6. Place bottom cone of the tube into the cone-shaped pocket on top

of the vortex unit.

7. Firmly hold only the top of the tube by the lid or cap and press

down just hard enough to activate the orbital vortex action, pressing

harder than necessary will only decrease the efciency of the

vortexing action.

8. Hold down tube as long as necessary to blend the mixture.

Warning!

Use only the power adapter delivered with the product. Use of other

power adapters will void warranty.

Warning!

Do not use if cord or power supply is damaged.

Maintenance

The Mini Vortexer is a maintenance free product. There are no user

serviceable parts inside, only the rubber vortexing cap is replaceable.

Clean unit as often as is deemed necessary. Clean unit only when it is not

plugged into an electrical outlet. The unit can be completely wiped using

a damp cloth and a mild, non-corrosive detergent. Do not use any solvent

on the unit that may attack plastic or rubber.

Ensure all parts are thoroughly dry prior to operation.

Do not immerse the unit or the power adapter.
