Caution! Damage to electronic components through formation of condensate
To avoid the formation of condensate on electric and electronic components:
→ Let the device warm up for at least 3 hours after being moved from a cool to a
warmer room. Only connect the device to the power supply after this period.
→ Or let the device warm up for half an hour before moving it from a cool to a
warmer room for usage there.
Caution! Damage to device from aggressive chemicals
Although rotors are high-grade components that withstand extreme loads, they may
be damaged by aggressive chemicals. This may also impair the protection of
aluminum rotors, which are largely safeguarded from corrosion by standard
laboratory chemicals via a surface treatment.
→ Avoid damage caused by aggressive chemicals such as alkalis, acids, solutions of
mercury, copper and other heavy metal ions, chlorinated hydrocarbons,
concentrated salt solutions and phenol.
→ If the rotor is contaminated by aggressive substances, clean immediately with a
neutral agent (e.g. Extran
®
neutral, RBS
®
neutral or Teepol
®
610 S). This applies
to the rotor bores in particular.
→ Rotors marked "coated" should also be cleaned. Although they are particularly
resistant to chemicals, this is no substitute for regular cleaning as described in
Section 7.1 "Cleaning" of the operating manual.
Warning! Damage to device through uncontrollable centrifuge
→ The centrifuge should only be connected to a power supply line with an
emergency switch. The emergency switch should be located outside the room in
which the centrifuge stands or next to the exit from this room.
