Emergency Lid Release

In the event of a power failure, it is possible to manually open the
centrifuge lid.
The lid may only be unlocked and opened when the rotor is at a
standstill.
If the lid is opened with the emergency lid release during operation,
the centrifuge will be switched off immediately and decelerate without
brake.

Translation of the original operating manual
Switch off the mains power switch and disconnect the power cord
from the socket.
Remove the plug (1) at the right side of the centrifuge, e.g. with a
screw driver (see fig. 7.2).
First, pull the red string to release the mechanism and then unlock
the lid lock by pulling the white string.
Then, reinsert the plug and quit the error message by switching
the centrifuge off/on. Approximately 10 seconds after quitting the
lid can be closed again.
