Page 6: Safety Information
Safety Information Before using the machine, make sure to read and understand this manual thoroughly. Keep the manual close to the machine, easily accessible to all the users. Improper operation can cause injury to persons or damage to the equipment. In the interest of your own personal safety, always observe the following safety instruc- tions: Do not use rotors and buckets, which show clear signs of corrosion or mechanical defects. -

Control Panel Description Before using the centrifuge for the first time, familiarize yourself with the control panel and the functions of the knob and keys. Run Indicator (four lamps) Display for rotational speed (RPM) and centrifugal force (RCF) Indicator for selection indication between rotational speed (RPM) and centrifugal force (RCF) Knob for setting and selecting between rotational speed (RPM) and centrifugal force (RCF) Display for time, acceleration level (AcX) and braking level (brX) Knob for setting and selecting between time, acceleration level (AcX) and braking level (brX) -
Page 11: Knob And Button Functions
Knob and Button Functions SHORT PRESS: By pressing this key, you start and end the run of the centrifuge. When you press the key for the first time, the centrifuge starts to run. When you press it again, the centrifuge stops. The next run is possible, when the rotor stops completely. -
Page 12: Rotor Loading
Rotor Loading Test tubes in the rotor must always be loaded symmetrically. You may use only approved test tubes. Weight difference of the samples in test tubes should be as low as possible in order to avoid potential damages of the motor and to minimize running noise and vibration. -
Page 13: Setting The Rotational Speed And Centrifugal Force
Setting the Rotational Speed and Centrifugal Force By rotating this knob, you change the values of the parameters. By rotating the knob to clockwise direction, the values are increasing, and by rotating it to counter-clockwise direction, they are decreasing. By pressing on the knob you choose between: •... -
Page 14: Program Setting
NOTE: All the operation parameters can be changed during the operation of the centrifuge, and it starts to work with the new settings after that. • Changing the run time during operation You should be aware, that when you extend run time, the difference between newly set and originally set time is added to current time, and when you shorten run time, the difference is subtracted. -

Page 17: Maintenance And Cleaning Of The Centrifuge
Maintenance and Cleaning of the Centrifuge Regular Service We recommend having the centrifuge and associated rotors checked by authorized service at least once a year. You must thoroughly clean and disinfect the centrifuge prior to service. Cleaning the Centrifuge After every centrifugation, please remove any condensed water from the rotor chamber using a soft, ab- sorbent cloth. -

Page 20: Users Parameters
Users Parameters Accessing Parameters With user’s parameters, you can check and set some of the operational properties of the centrifuge. For entering to user’s parameters, the centrifuge must be in stand-by mode. Simultaneously press the LEFT and RIGHT keys. The first parameter shows on display (ror). Then you can select the parameters by pressing the LEFT and RIGHT keys. -
Page 21: Replacing The Centrifuge Fuses
Replacing the Centrifuge Fuses The following fuses are required for CF-350 Centrifuge: 2 x 16AT 250V (120V) 2 x 10AT 250V (230V) • Unplug mains plug from the mains socket. • By pressing the locking device on the left side of the fuse compartment, the fuse holder is released and you can pull it out. -
