Read the instructions before use!   

 
Damaged appliances shall not be used. 
The  appliance  and  its  supply  cord  must  be  placed  in  an  indoor area  not  subject  to  splashes  of 
water or wet conditions and protected from or out of reach of animals. 
Repairs shall be carried out only by a suitably qualified person. 
This  appliance  shall  not  be  used,  cleaned  or  maintained  by  children  or  persons  with  reduced 

physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge without supervision. 
Children shall not play with the appliance. 
Ensure that nothing can restrict the movement of the trays or setting shelves. This may damage 

the  turning  mechanism  and  invalidate  the  guarantee.  Load  the  setting  shelves  evenly  to  help 
prevent imbalanced operation. Ensure trays are pushed to the back of each shelf. 
Disconnect the incubator from the mains power supply during cleaning. Ensure that all electrical 
parts are kept dry.
