See the front view of the device, found on the fold-out page at the front of this manual:
Rear of centrifuge:
–
Mains plug with mains switch.
Bottom of centrifuge:
–
Identification plate with electrical specifications
– Opening in base for emergency lid release (Fig. 1, E).
Caution: Following centrifugation, the motor block may be hot.
Fit the rotor onto the motor shaft, followed by the rotor nut. Tighten the rotor nut by
turning it clockwise. Before each start, check that the rotor is firmly tightened.
To release the rotor, turn the rotor nut counterclockwise.
Rotors must always be loaded symmetrically. Minimize differences in weight between
the filled sample tubes - taring with a scale is recommended. This will reduce wear on
the drive and cut running noise.
For rotor F-45-12-11 the permitted total weight (adapter + tube + contents) is 4 g per
bore and for rotor F-55-16-5-PCR 3.5 g per 8-strip.
