2. INTRODUCTION
2.1 INTENDED USE
The CF-220 Centrifuge is a universal laboratory centrifuge. It is designed for use in
medical, scientific and industrial laboratories, for separating the substances with dif-
ferent specific densities by centrifugal force. In particular, it is intended for preparation
of human samples (body fluids), in approved test tubes, before further analysis. The
maximum rotational speed of 15,500 RPM gives the centrifugal force of 23,100 x rcf.
2.2 BASIC EQUIPMENT
The following is enclosed with the centrifuge:
1 User's manual
1 Hexagonal rotor key
1 Power cord
2.3 UNPACKING
The weight of the centrifuge is 31.7 lbs. (14.4 kg). To prevent possible injuries, at
least two people should lift and carry the centrifuge by holding it at the bottom
from opposite sides.
Open the carton box. Take out the accessories and remove the packaging material.
Reach with your hands under the centrifuge and lift it from the box together with
another person.
When lifting the centrifuge, never hold it by the front or top plastic
part of the housing or by the lid, as the appliance may get damaged!
Retain the packaging material for any subsequent transport or storage, which are
allowed only in the original packaging.
2.4 INSTALLING THE CENTRIFUGE
The centrifuge should only be operated indoors. Place the centrifuge on a stable, solid,
horizontal and clean surface, without vibrations. Make sure that the centrifuge is not
exposed to direct sunlight. To ensure sufficient ventilation, there should be enough
clearance on all sides of the centrifuge. It must be far enough away from the wall and
other devices. According torecommendations of the EN 61010-2-020 standard, a safety
clearance of 30 cm should be observed around the centrifuge during operation. Please
remove all objects from this area.If the centrifuge isn't levelled, imbalances can occur,
and the centrifuge can be damaged. Do not place anything under the centrifuge feet
to level the centrifuge.
