Always, use the original accessories only! For your personal safety, please pay attention to following precautions: The Corning LSE™ Compact Centrifuge is not explosion-proof and must therefore not be • operated in explosion-endangered areas or locations. During centrifugation, it is prohibited to stay within the safety zone of 30 cm around the centrifuge or deposit hazardous substances within this area. -

Place the rotor onto the drive shaft. (see photo 4) Take care that the motor shaft is plugged completely in the rotor nut. - Page 12 Photo 5 ATTENTION: For reasons of safety you should check the fixing screw before each run!! (see photo 5) 2 OPERATION Hold the rotor with one hand and secure the rotor to the shaft by turning the fixing screw (1) clockwise. (see photo 6).

Page 22: Maintenance
3 MAINTENANCE 3.1 Service and maintenance 3.1.1 Maintenance and cleaning Maintenance: Maintenance of the centrifuge is confined to keeping the rotor, the rotor chamber and the rotor accessories clean as well as to regularly lubricating the rotor insert bolts of a swing out rotor (if available). -
Page 23: Glass Breakage
3 MAINTENANCE 3.1.2 Glass breakage With high g-values, the rate of glass tube breakage increases. Glass splinters have to be removed immediately from rotor, buckets, adapters and the rotor chamber itself. Fine glass splinters will scratch and therefore damage the protective surface coating of a rotor. If glass splinters remain in the rotor chamber, fine metal dust will build up due to air circulation. -
Page 24: Cold Room Removal
Bottles, boxes and rotors may be treated with the usual liquid disinfectants. 3.1.5 Cold room removal Prior to removing centrifuge from a cold room, place unit inside a plastic bag. Once removed from cold room place unit on a level surface and allow it to return to room temperature inside the bag. TROUBLE SHOOTING 4.1 Error messages: cause / solution Preface:... -
