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 haz-
ardous.

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 Pop-
off 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 VORTEX-
GENIE 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
or sponge. Keep the unit clean by immediately blotting any spills. Replacement
parts are available through Daigger. Refer to "Parts Assembly List" and enclosed
multi-fold brochure.
