Resolution

To remove the ice from the centrifugation chamber, proceed as follows:

  1. Open the centrifuge door.
  2. Remove the rotor. Let the ice melt.
  3. Remove the water from the centrifugation chamber.
  4. Clean the centrifuge chamber.

NOTE: Do not use any sharp tools, aggressive liquids or fire to fasten the melting process. If necessary use warm water to speed up the melting process.

Cause

Warm humid air in combination with a cold centrifugation chamber can lead to formation of ice.
