2.2 Required space
The centrifuge should be installed on a rigid, even surface such as a stable laboratory
bench, countertop, etc. To guarantee sufficient ventilation, ensure that the centrifuge
has at least 15 cm (6 inches) of free space on all sides, including the rear.
The centrifuge should not be located in areas subject to excessive 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
Before operating the centrifuge, check that the power source (electrical outlet on
the wall) corresponds to that on the manufacturer’s rating label, then connect the
power cord to the centrifuge and the power source.
