centrifuge).
To open the lid manually, use the lid-opening tool (or a small screw driver). Insert
the tool into the emergency lid-opening hole on the up-right corner on the left side
(as showed in Installation Section). Push the tool in to release the safety lock and
open the lid.

The centrifuge will count the total cycles of usage. To check the cycle usage, press
and hold Stop Button for 4 seconds, the total to date number of cycles will be
