Warranty

This centrifuge has been subjected to thorough testing and quality control. In the unlikely

event of a manufacturing fault, our one year warranty (from the date of delivery) covers

the centrifuge and the rotor. This warranty becomes invalid in the case of incorrect

operation, use of nonstandard spare parts or accessories and unauthorized modification of

the rotor or centrifuge.

Labnet reserves the right to make technical modifications.

Please see the complete limited warranty statement supplied separately.

2. Installation

2.1 Unpacking the centrifuge

Before unpacking the centrifuge, inspect the outside of the carton for any shipping

damage.

The centrifuge is delivered in a carton with protective foam cushioning. Remove the

centrifuge from the carton. Retain thecarton and cushioning until it has been established

that the centrifuge is working properly.


Inspect the centrifuge for any visible signs of shipping damage. Shipping damage is the

responsibility of the transportation carrier. Any claims for damage must be filed within

48 hours with the carrier that delivered the centrifuge.


The accessories supplied with the centrifuge should be kept with the instruction manual

near the centrifuge’s place of installation.


2.2 Required space

The centrifuge should be installed on a rigid, even surface such as a stable laboratory

bench, countertop, etc. To guarantee sufficient ventilation, ensure that the centrifuge has

at least 15cm (6 inches) of free space on all sides, including the rear.


The centrifuge should not be located in areas subject to excessive heat such as in direct

sunlight or near radiators or the exhaust of a compressor, as a buildup of heat may occur

within the chamber.

Installation

Before operating the centrifuge, check that the power source (electrical outlet on the wall)

centrifuge and the power source.
