SECTION 12 – PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Your CARON incubator has been robustly designed to minimize performance problems.
However, regular maintenance is very important for continuous trouble free operation.
As a general rule, CARON recommends an annual calibration check of the temperature,
humidity, CO2 systems. CARON offers a full range of on-site calibration and validation
services. We also offer preventative
maintenance contracts on our equipment. Contact
our service department for details at 740
