Position unit in its ultimate operating location. Keep a minimum of
3" of airspace around sides & back of the unit and a minimum of 6"
above the unit. The port hole at the top of the unit will expel a small
amount of warm air through convection. This port can also be used
as an access way for an external temperature probe.
Install adjustable shelf by placing the ends of the wire shelf bracket
into the corresponding holes located on the inner sides of the oven
at the desired height. Push the ends of the bracket into the holes
until the first bends in the bracket are against the wall, then rotate
the bracket down. Place the shelf on the brackets.
(FIG 1)
Place drip tray on lower shelf.
Plug the unit into a grounded outlet for your unit's rated voltage.
Leave a space between articles on a shelf to allow the unit's horizontal
air flow to circulate around each article.
(FIG. 3)
Don't block the return air port located at the back of the lower
plenum/shelf.
Avoid extremely large (in quantity or size) or high-density loads. This
will show by non-uniform processing and long or impossible "heat-
through" times. To help determine a large load's suitability, use the set-
point recovery time (the time it takes for the temperature to recover to
the original set temperature once load is placed), as a guide. To reduce
recovery time, reduce load proportionally. When possible, measure
large loads or solution temperatures directly with an ancillary
thermometer or probe. Probes can be inserted at top port.
Once the unit reaches the set temperature, allow the unit to cycle for 15 minutes at set point before temperature
becomes fully stable. NOTE: Upon each initial powering-up, the control may typically overshoot the set temp by 1
or 2 degrees. After equilibrium is achieved the control will hold set temperature within 1 unit degree.
Article processing times and temperature uniformity are largely dependent on load density and positioning. Load
the incubator so that air circulation within the incubator is not impaired. Here are some general guidelines:

Set-up & Installation
The unit is ready for your immediate use. All control parameters,
calibration and tuning has been done at the factory, no adjustments
are necessary.
Push the illuminated power button. All LED's on the temperature
control will light-up for 5 seconds until the current or actual
chamber temperature is displayed. The motor will also start.
To view the set temperature press the star " " key. To change the
set temperature hold the star key together with the up (raise temp)
or down (lower temp) arrow key until the desired temperature is
indicated on the LED display.
(FIG. 2)
The temperature control is
set at the factory to read in 1/10th degree C (centigrade) units. To
change temperature units or display resolution see: Menu Level

Read Operating Instructions Thoroughly Prior to Operation
Safety Precautions
Read Operating Instructions thoroughly prior to operation. Use only a grounded outlet that is rated for your
model's electrical requirement. Do not modify the oven or factory control settings to operate the oven above the
stated maximum operating temperature. Exterior surfaces on the 180AE models may become hot to the touch
when operating at higher set temperatures. Conduct periodic maintenance as required.
