carrier. Any claims for damage must be filed within 48 hours.
The accessories supplied with the centrifuge should be kept with
the instruction manual near the centrifuge’s place of installation.
2.2 Required space
The centrifuge should be installed on a rigid, even surface such
as a stable laboratory bench, cabinet, etc. To guarantee suffi-
cient ventilation, ensure that the centrifuge has at least 15cm (6
inches) of free space on all sides, including the rear.
The centrifuge should not be located in areas subject to exces-
sive heat such as in direct sunlight or near radiators or the
exhaust of a compressor, as a buildup of heat may occur within
the chamber.
2.3 Installation
Make certain that the timer is set to the off position. Before
operating the centrifuge, check that the power source corre-
sponds to that on the manufacturer’s rating label, then connect
the power cord to the centrifuge and the power source.
ATTENTION: The timer must be in the OFF position
before connecting the power cord. Failing to place the timer
in the off position may result in damage to the centrifuge and
injury to personnel.
