4 Location and Installation
4.1
Your incubator will give best results in a room free from wide temperature variations and with generous
ventilation – particularly if several incubators are running at the same time. Ensure that the room temperature
cannot drop on a cold night. Ideally thermostatically control the room at between 20 and 25°C (68 and 77°F).
Never allow the room temperature to drop below 15°C (59°F) and ensure that the incubator cannot be exposed to
direct sunlight. Do not use your incubator on the floor.
4.2
Connect the mains cable to the incubator lid. Ensure the connector is pushed fully home in its socket.
4.3
Fit the Cable Cover and tighten the screw.
DO NOT OPERATE THE INCUBATOR WITHOUT THE CABLE
COVER IN PLACE. ENSURE THE CABLE IS NOT CRUSHED OR PINCHED WHEN THE COVER IS
FITTED.
The cover is designed to prevent splashes of water reaching the electrical socket and it clamps the
cable to prevent the connector coming loose.
