Instruction Manual SC 2700 CentrifugeInstruction Manual SC 2700 Centrifuge
This symbol signals safety-relevant information and indicates possibly dangerous situations.
Only use the centrifuge if you have read this safety information.
Failure to observe this information can result in injury or damage.
Intended use includes compliance with all information in the instruction manual and
performance of required service and maintenance work. The centrifuge must be placed on a horizontal, vibration-free and levelled laboratory bench.
According to the recommendations of EN 61010-2-020, during centrifuging a clear safety
area of 30cm must be maintained, in which there are no objects whose destruction could
cause damage.
Under no circumstances must the centrifuge be placed in front of a window which is
exposed to intensive sunlight or in front of heating elements, as the attainable sample
temperatures are related to an average room temperature of +23°C.
