5.0 Heating Operation and Controls
The Corning® Scholar™ 170 Hot Plate will not heat when the dial setting is
turned to the “OFF” position. To operate the unit turn the dial until the dial
indicator lines up with the desired dial setting. The following table details
approximate temperatures for various dial settings.
Dial Setting Approx. Temperature
Low 60°C
2 100°C
3 140°C
4 160°C
5 200°C
6 230°C
High 360°C
NOTE: Temperatures shown are approximate “no load” values. Variables
affecting actual temperature may include environment conditions, dial
setting position, and top loading.
6.0 Stirring Operation and Controls
The Corning Scholar 171 Stirrer will not stir when the dial setting is turned
to the “OFF” position. To operate the unit, turn the dial until the dial indica-
tor lines up with the desired dial setting. The stir range is 100 to 1,600 rpm.
7.0 Inspection Procedure
Look for etching or chipping on top plate. If any of these conditions are
present, discontinue use and contact Corning for additional instructions.
Look for damaged power cord. If the cord is damaged, do not modify the
grounded power plug to avoid shock hazard or any other unit component.
Service should always be done by qualified technicians using Corning
instructions. Contact Corning for additional instructions.
