Take out the accessories.
•
Remove the upper foam cushion.
•
Lift the centrifuge with both foam cushions out of the cardboard
box. When lifting the centrifuge, always reach under the
centrifuge from the side.

Retain the packaging for any possible future transport of the
centrifuge.
5.2 Transport Safety Device

5.3 Installation Site
Operate the centrifuge only in closed and dry rooms.
All the energy supplied to the centrifuge is converted into heat and
emitted to ambient air.
•
Ensure sufficient ventilation.
•
Keep a safety distance of at least 30 cm around the centrifuge so
that the vents in the centrifuge remain fully effective.
•
Do not position the centrifuge near heat generators.
•
Avoid direct sunlight (UV radiation).

The table must be stable and have a solid, even surface.

Attention: During transport from cold to warmer places,
condensational water will collect inside the centrifuge. It is
important to allow sufficient time for drying (min. 24 h) before the
centrifuge can be used again.
