8 Press the VACUUM button.
9 Take out the rotor.
Note When the rotor chamber is vacuumed insufficiently before starting operation or the ambient
temperature is low (10°C or below), the vacuum waiting time at 5,000rpm may become longer.
Also, during acceleration up to the set speed, the instrument may become a vacuum waiting state.
Therefore, before starting operation, vacuum the rotor chamber sufficiently (approx. 15 minutes)
and then press the VACUUM button and check that the displayed vacuum is at a high vacuum
level (3 indicator).
