Protocol

1. Find the total mass of the rotating cup holder, adaptor, and plastic beaker containing your mixture.
2. Adjust the rotation balance dial so that it is matches your total mass in grams.
3. Assemble the cup holder so that the notches lineup.
4. Place it inside the rotating tray receptacle in the machine making sure the notches line up.
5. Place the plastic beaker containing your mixture into the cup holder.
6. Close the lid and set the parameters using the "SET UP" button to cycle through the settings.
7. When the "MIXING" light is on, change the speed and time using the up and down buttons to the right of the display. Repeat this process for "DEFOAMING".
8. Before you press the orange "START" button make sure the light is highlighting the correct process (mixing or defoaming).
9. When finished, clean up any spills and leave the lid OPEN.
