Yes, in case of a power failure, the device can be opened with the help of the rotor key. Before opening the centrifuge, pull the power plug and wait until the rotor stops spinning. The emergency lid release is on the right-hand side of the centrifuge. Remove the plastic cap and insert the rotor key into the nut behind the cap. Turn the rotor key counter-clockwise. The centrifuge lid will be unlocked and can be opened. Then remove the rotor key and replace the plastic cap.
