5.5.6 Continuous cooling
If the rotor stops, the rotor chamber will be maintained at the target temperature if the following
requirements have been met:
• The centrifuge is switched on.
• The centrifuge lid is closed.
• The target temperature is lower than the ambient temperature.
• The centrifuge is not in standby mode.
During continuous cooling the following applies:
• The set and actual temperature are displayed alternately.
• Irrespective of the set temperature, the temperature does not go below 4 °C to prevent the rotor
chamber from freezing and from increased condensation in the device.
• The temperature adjustment is slower because the rotor does not rotate during this process.
To end continuous cooling, open the centrifuge lid or press the standby key.
If the centrifuge is not used for more than 8 hours, the continuous cooling is switched off automatically.
The device then switches to standby mode. This protects against ice formation in the rotor chamber and
increased condensation in the device. With
FastTemp you can quickly reach the desired temperature again
(see p. 36).
You can change the continuous cooling to endless operation at your own risk. To do so, in the device menu
under
Continuous cooling enable the ∞ (see p. 48) item.
