ANDLING

 

The unit is heavy. Use appropriate lifting devices that are sufficiently rated for these loads. Follow these 

guidelines when lifting the unit. 

 

Lift the unit only from its bottom surface. 

 

Doors, handles, and knobs are not adequate for lifting or stabilization. 

 

Restrain the unit completely while lifting or transporting so it cannot tip. 

 

Remove all moving parts, such as shelves and trays, and lock doors in the closed position 

during transfers to prevent shifting and damage. 

 

L

EVELING

 

Install the 4 leveling feet with the 4 corner holes on the bottom of the unit. The unit must be level and 

stable for safe operation. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note:

 

To prevent damage when moving the unit, turn all four leveling feet so that the leg of each 

foot sits inside the unit.

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 th

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.
