BEFORE COMMENCING OPERATION
Filling the humidifying pan
Use the following procedure to fill the humidifying pan with water or to replace water in it.
1.
Pull out the humidifying pan (Fig. 1).
2.
Dispose of the remaining water and clean the
humidifying pan with a diluted detergent. Then rinse
it thoroughly with distilled water and wipe it with
alcohol for disinfection.
3.
Wipe all moisture from the bottom of the chamber.
4.
Return the humidifying pan to the chamber and
fill with sterile distilled water (approx. 1.5 L,
preheated to 37
C) (Fig. 2).
Notes:
• Operation with no water for humidifying may increase the chamber temperature than the set temperature
temporarily.
• Preheat the water to 37
C. Adding cool water will lower the temperature and humidity in the chamber.
• Install the humidifying pan in a longitudinal direction with its shorter side placed at the back.
• Refill the humidifying pan with water promptly when the volume of water decreases.
• Mixing any reagent into the water for humidifying may have an adverse effect on the cultivation. Do not
add any reagent to the water when using the UV lamp, as the UV light may cause the mixture to
deteriorate.
• After cleaning, please change the water of the humidifying pan. There is a possibility that it can not be
controlled correctly due to the influence of alcohol.
5.
Place the humidifying pan with the inner side flush against the back, and close the inner and outer
doors.
Note:
The humidity control bar in the duct maintains low temperature and inner moisture is recondensed.
Slide the humidifying pan down right under the humidity control bar, otherwise the recondensed water
droplets will fall directly to the bottom of the chamber forming a pool. When the pooled water evaporates, it
may leave a white mark on the bottom. This is not a malfunction. Wipe it off with a piece of gauze or
unwoven cloth soaked in alcohol. If the mark cannot be removed, scrub it off using a cleansing cream.
