Yes, in the event of a power failure, the unit can be opened by means of the rotor key. Before the centrifuge is opened, always remove the mains plug from the plug socket and wait for the rotor to come to a standstill. For the emergency release of the centrifuge lid, the small plastic caps on the left-hand and right-hand side of the Centrifuge 5430 have to be removed. Then insert the rotor key into the nut underneath the cap and open the lid latches by turning in anticlockwise direction.
