4.2 Lid release
Once the run has been completed and the rotor come to a stop,
the lid will open automatically. If the lid does not open auto-
matically, press the lid button. Note that the lid button will not
operate while the rotor is spinning.
WARNING: Do not attempt to open the lid of any centrifuge
until the rotor has come to a complete stop.
In the event of a power failure or malfunction, it may be neces-
sary to open the lid manually.
1. Disconnect the power cord from the wall socket.
2. Remove the plastic plug, located on the left side of the unit,
below the quick button.
3. Pull the cord (attached to the plug) to open the lid lock
manually.
4.3 Lid lock
The centrifuge can be started only with the lid securely closed.
When the rotor begins to accelerate, the lid lock indicator light
turns on and the lid button becomes inoperable. Do not attempt
to open the lid until the lid lock indicator turns off. At the end of
the run, the lid will automatically open.
4.4 Speed selection
The speed (rpm) can be selected to 14,000rpm with the knob
labeled “speed”. The scale is directly proportional to the speed -
a setting of 9 corresponds to 9,000rpm, a setting of 13 corre-
sponds to a speed of 13,000rpm, etc.
