Each incubator ships with a silicone stopper installed in the access port located
on the right side of the incubation chamber interior.
•
The stopper should always be
installed inside
the chamber
to obtain the
best temperature uniformity and prevent condensation from forming
inside the port.
o
Do not install the stopper on the outside of the incubator.
•
Wires for thermocouples and other sensor probes may be introduced into
the chamber through the access port. The stopper may be put in place
over the wires.
•
The unit will not meet its temperature or CO
2
specifications without the
stopper installed.

The water jacket requires
19 gallons (72 liters)
to provide sufficient thermal insulation for the incubator to
operate at its stated temperature specifications.
The manufacturer recommends the use of distilled water or filtered
tap water if possible. Please see the
entry
in the User Maintenance chapter on page 54.
Use of a funnel or hose while filling the jacket is strongly recommended.
Locate the water fill port on the back, right side of the
incubator.
Remove the port stopper.
•
Place the port stopper in a location where it will be
easy to find.
Fill the jacket with 19 gallons (72 liters) by pouring water in
through the fill port.
