A refrigerated centrifuge allows for preselecting a rotor chamber temperature between -10 °C and +40 °C for
the centrifugation run.
A
CAUTION
Due to air friction the temperature of the rotor may rise significantly while the centrifuge is
spinning. Displayed and set temperature can deviate from sample temperature. Sample temperature might
exceed critical temperature of your apllication.
NOTICE This feature is not available on ventilated models.
Proceed as follows to preselect a temperature for the centrifugation run:
1. Press the + or - key below the Temperature field of the LCD display window (right side of Figure 4–7 ,
showing 18 degrees Celsius) to adjust the desired rotor chamber temperature.
