Figure 2-2. 

Mains Connection

1. Turn off the power supply switch on the back (press "0").

2. Plug the centrifuge into grounded electrical sockets only.

3. Check whether the cable complies with the safety standards of your country.

4. Make sure that the voltage and frequency correspond to the figures on the rating plate.

Establish the connection to the power supply with the connecting cable.

CAUTION 

If the centrifuge is not level, imbalances can occur and the centrifuge can be 

damaged.
Do not place anything under the feet to level the centrifuge. 

Note

 The centrifuge must be connected directly to a socket. Extensions and 

connectors

 are not
