The VORTEX-GENIE@ 2 Mixer with Pop-off Cup and 3-inch Platform, is an enhanced

version of the ORIGINAL VORTEX-GENIE@ Mixer produced by Scientific lndustries.

VORTEX-GENIE mixers are the "Gold Standard" for laboratory mixers. The quality

and reliability, that you have come to know so well, are characteristics that are, by

design, an integral part of all GENIETM products.

APPLICATIONS

The 3-inch Platform accepts single or multiple test tubes,

beakers and various flasks. The removable cover, made of

thermoplastic rubber, is highly impervious to chemicals. lt

is, however recommended that spills are blotted quickly. Do

not attempt to use the 3-inch Platform without the rubber

cover.

The Pop-off Cup can accommodate tubes of virtually any

size or shape from micro tubes to those up to 40mm in

diameter and 200mm in length. ln most instances, tubes

without caps may be mixed with proper speed control.

Tubes must be capped when potential aerosols may be hazardous.

OPERATI NG I NSTRUGTIONS

We recommend you retain the original packaging for 90

days in case you need to return the product for any reason

to Daigger or Scientific lndustries.

1.0 - Plug the cord into a properly grounded, three

pronged outlel (120 VAC for the G560 model and

230 VAC for the G560E model).

2.0 - The VORTEX-GENIE 2 Mixer has the following modes of operation:

2.1 - TOUCH MODE:

Place the toggle switch in the TOUCH position and set the speed control to any

position between 3 and 10. A setting of 3 is least vigorous mixing and 10 is the

most vigorous mixing. When you touch a vessel to the 3-inch Platform or Popoff Cup, the mixer will start automatically. Releasing the pressure on the

Platform or Cup will stop the mixer.

2.2 - HANDS FREE MODE:

Place the toggle switch in the ON position and set the speed control to any

position between 3 and 10. Hands Free mode allows for unattended operation

that will continue indefinitely until you stop the mixer by placing the toggle

switch into the OFF position. ln this mode, you may use any of the accessory
attachments available for the VORTEX-GENIE@ 2 Mixer. Review instruction

No. 3.0 before attempting to change attachments.

Note: The speed control switch should be set between positions 3 and 10 to

enable the mixing action to start. After the action has started, you may, if

desired, reduce the speed below position 3 for the duration of the run.

Before re-starting the mixer, re-set the speed control to a setting higher than

position 3.

3.0 - To change accessory mixing attachments, the following sequence is to be

followed explicitly.

3.1 - Turn the power OFF by placing the toggle switch into the OFF position.

3.2 - Grasp the installed attachment and pull straight up until it releases from the

shaft. A technique of lifting the attachment with your finger tips while using

your knuckles as a fulcrum will give you the leverage to remove the installed

attachment component smoothly.

3.3 - Hold the part you wish to install so the "flat" part of the shaft is aligned with

the "flat" of the receptacle in the attachment. Alternatively, you may place the

attachment on the shaft and turn it until you feel the "flats" aligning.

3.4 - Press attachment firmly downward until it "snaps" into place. The VORTEXGENIE 2 Mixer is now ready to use with the newly installed accessory

attachment.

4.Q: With prolonged use, your VORTEX-GENIE 2 Mixer may become warm to the

touch; lt should not get HOT to the touch. The motor will radiate a certain

amount of heat that will dissipate by the cast zinc housing.

CAUTION! Do not lift your VORTEX-GENIE 2 Mixer by its attachment. All

attachments, including the Pop-off Cup and the 3-inch Platform are removable.

They will pop off easily if you lift them, and snap back on again just as easily

by aligning the flats and pressing down firmly.

,/!\ ceurroN! Failure to follow operating instructions can compromise the

user's safety.

CARE AND HANDLING

Your VORTEX-GENIE 2 Mixer should be given the care normally required for any

electrical appliance. Avoid wetting or unnecessary exposure to fumes. The finish

can be washed with water (after unplugging) and soap or detergents, using a cloth

parts are available through Daigger. Refer to "Parts Assembly List" and enclosed
