LEANING
Cleaning and disinfecting the incubation chamber during installation reduces the chance of microbiological
contamination. The unit was cleaned and disinfected at the factory. However, the unit may have been
exposed to contaminants during shipping. Additionally, the factory procedure may not meet the standards
of your institutional protocols. Please see the Cleaning and Disinfecting entry on page 25 in the User
Maintenance section for information on how to clean and disinfect without damaging the chamber.
•
Remove all wrappings and coverings from shelving prior to cleaning and installation.
