Rotors and rotor lids showing visible signs of corrosion or mechanical damage should not be
used. Inspect the rotor lid regularly.
Be sure to close the tube lids tightly prior to centrifugation. Open tube lids can be torn off during
centrifugation and damage the rotor lid or centrifuge.
Please ensure that the rotor is protected from corrosion and mechanical damage.
Even slight scratches and cracks can cause severe inner damage to the rotor materials.
Do not use damaged rotors!
Do not move the centrifuge during the run.
After centrifugation, and particularly if the motor was blocked, the temperature
of the motor block under the centrifuge may be so high as to be uncomfortably
hot. For this reason, touch the centrifuge at the edges only.
Transfer
If the device is passed on to someone else, please include the instruction manual.
Disposal
In case the product is to be disposed of, the relevant legal regulations are to be observed.
Information on the disposal of electrical and electronic devices in the European
Community
The disposal of electrical devices is regulated within the European Community by national
regulations based on EU Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment
(WEEE).
According to these regulations, any devices supplied after 13.08.05 in the business-to-business
sphere, to which this product is assigned, may no longer be disposed of in municipal or
domestic waste. They are marked with the following symbol to indicate this.
As disposal regulations within the EU may vary from country to country, please contact
your supplier if necessary.
Declaration concerning the ATEX directive (94/9/EC)
The present design and ambient conditions inside Eppendorf centrifuges mean that they are not
suitable for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere. The centrifuges must therefore only be
used in a safe environment such as the open environment of a ventilated laboratory or a fully-
extracted fume hood. The use of substances which may contribute to a potentially explosive
atmosphere is not permitted. The final decision on the risks in connection with the use of such
substances is the responsibility of the user of the centrifuge.
