5.4.5 Removing the rotor and switching off the device
1. If required, switch off the heater.
2. Remove the rotor.
3. Wipe up any liquid that has been spilled in the rotor chamber and on the device lid, using an
absorbent cloth.
4. Clean the rotor chamber and device lid, as described separately (see Cleaning / Disinfection
on p. 35).
5. Leave the device lid open and secure it against falling shut to let any remaining residual liquid
evaporate.
6. Switch off the device at the mains power switch.
5.4.6 Emptying the emission condenser
1. Depending on the design, there are two options:
• The emission condenser is mounted to the side of the device: detach the tube from
the connection and empty the liquid into a collection vessel via the upper connection.
• The emission condenser is mounted to the front of the device: here you can
alternatively remove the black plug in the vessel using a screwdriver and fit a special tap
before first use. Via this tap, you can then empty the liquid directly into a collection vessel.
2. Dispose of the liquid in accordance with the current legal requirements and regulations for
your application.
5.5 Notes on using rotors
5.5.1 RotorA-2-VC
Transferring the rotor
Hint!
Rotor A-2-VC: Remove the buckets first before holding the rotor at the rotor cross with both
hands to lift it out of the device.
CAUTION!
Wait for rotor to stop.
When the plates are fully loaded, it can happen during the post-run phase of the A-2-VC rotor that
the lid of the device can be opened before the rotor has stopped.
 Always wait until the rotor has stopped before opening the lid of the device and removing the
plates and/or tubes.
NOTICE!
If handled incorrectly, the rotor can fall over.
The buckets of swing-bucket rotors must not be used as handles.
 Before moving the rotor, remove the buckets.
 Always pick up the rotor at the rotor cross, using both hands.
