1. A centrifuge has to be placed on a solid bench or table. The surface must be plane and

exactly horizontal. No other equipment like microscopes and laboratory balances must
be placed close to the centrifuge because the centrifuge creates vibrations and an
electromagnetic field. As with any other laboratory equipment, the centrifuge should not
be exposed to direct sunlight.

2. Small table top centrifuges just need a suitable wall socket with a standard fuse
protection. Very big refrigerated centrifuges might need a three-phase power supply.

3. If the centrifuge is electronically controlled, the wall socket should be protected against
spikes and power surges. Talk to the operator if voltage fluctuations are a problem and
look how other lab equipments are protected.
   

4. After the installation, the centrifuge has to be explained to the operating personnel. Make
a test run (↓Test run) and demonstrate all functions, controls and safety features. Do not
forget to demonstrate the cleaning procedure.
   

5. Hand over the user manual. A copy of the manual stays in the workshop.
   

6. Finally, a handing-over-protocol has to be signed by the responsible laboratory person.
