6.1.7 Assembling the vessel lid, stirrer guide and stirrer shaft
Step 1
Before attaching the glass lid to the vessel,
insert the PTFE stirrer guide into the central B24
port on the lid.
Hand-tighten the red Rodaviss screw cap to secure
the stirrer guide in place.
Step 2
Loosen the metal locking cap on top of the PTFE
stirrer guide (but do not unscrew fully).
Feed the stirrer shaft up through the underside of
the vessel lid and into the stirrer guide. Continue to
slide the stirrer shaft up until it just protrudes
above the metal locking cap.
Hand-tighten the metal locking cap to secure the
stirrer shaft in place.
Important information
→ The stirrer assembly (stirrer guide + stirrer shaft) must be securely connected to the vessel lid
before the lid is placed on the vessel.
