Re: Dear JAB

Hi again:

You said: ""throw it in the jar of distilled water and set the jar on top of the magnetic stirrer. Plug in the stirrer and the silver rod will spin.""

OK - this is what I have: 1 glass jar filled with distilled water (mayonnaise size jar)
1 magnet encased in plastic (about1/2" long) down in the water
in the jar
2 looped hooks which are snapped into place on either side of this
white, round (domed) thing which has 2 switches (one on
either side) indicating automatic/manual, etc....
and lastly, the cord which plugs into the wall and the other end
into the round, white domed thing. Is that the magnet stirrer?

Well, the green light goes on but nothing STIRS - nothing moves..

JAB, am I missing something here?? Thanks so much for your time - much appreciated.
