6. Troubleshooting
6. 1. Mechanical Emergency Door Release
During a power failure, you will not be able to open the centrifuge lid with the regular electric lid release. A
mechanical override is provided to allow sample recovery in the case of an emergency. However, this should be
used only in emergencies and
after the rotor has come to a complete stop
.
Always wait until the rotor has come to a stop without braking.
The brake does not work when there is
no power. The braking process lasts much longer than usual.
Proceed as follows:
1.
Wait until the rotor has stopped.
This can take longer than 40 minutes.
2. Pull out the power supply plug.
3. On the back side of the housing there are two plastic plugs. You can pry these plugs out of the back plate
with a screwdriver.
Pull the release cord attached to trigger the mechanical lid release. The lid will open and the samples can
be removed.

A
WARNING
If you pull only one cord or you did not press the
OPEN
key to have the door locks operative
again, the door might open while the rotor is still spinning.
WARNING
Serious injuries can occur if you touch a spinning rotor with your hands
or tools. A rotor can still be spinning after a power failure occurs. Do not
open the centrifuge before the rotor has stopped spinning. Do not touch a
spinning rotor. Never use your hands or tools to stop a spinning rotor.
6. 2. Ice Formation
Warm humid air in combination with a cold centrifugation chamber can lead to formation of ice. To remove the
ice from the centrifugation chamber, proceed as folllows:
1. Open the centrifuge door.
2. Remove the rotor. See
“How to Install and Remove a Rotor” on page 2-3
3. Let the ice melt.
