Platform Installation or changing
Turn power to the “OFF” (O) mid position
Remove the installed attachment by pulling straight up while holding the base

Press the attachment down firmly until it snaps into place
For Intermittent Operation push the switch to the “TOUCH” or fully down position
For continuous operation push toggle switch to the fully up on “ON” position
Turn the speed knob to the “3” position,the mixer will not run below this setting
If in continuous or “ON” mode, motion will start immediately
If in intermittent or touch mode, the vessel must come in contact with the
attachment before motion will start
Vary the speed on the dial and/or the angle of contact and pressure in
“Touch” mode to achieve the desired mixing
Turn the switch to the “OFF” or center position when finished
Safety:
–
DO NOT lift the Vortex mixer by the attachment, the base can drop violently
–
Unplug before cleaning, never immerse the base component
–
Attachments can be cleaned with normal soap and water
