6.2.5 Emergency Lid Release
In the event of a power supply failure, it is possible to manually open the
centrifuge lid using a stopper. It is located at the upper right side.
• Switch off the mains power switch and disconnect the power cord from the
socket.
• Remove the stopper, e.g. with a screwdriver.
• Pull the visible string in order to release the lid.
• Then, reinsert the stopper into the opening.
The lid may only be unlocked and opened when the rotor is at a standstill.
If the lid is opened by way of the emergency lid release during operation, the
centrifuge will be switched off immediately and decelerate brakeless.
