Do not use deionized water to clean or humidify the incubator. Use of deionized water may corrode
metal surfaces and voids the warranty. The manufacturer recommends the use of distilled water in
the resistance range of 50K Ohm/cm to 1M Ohm/cm, or a conductivity range of 20.0 uS/cm to 1.0
uS/cm, for cleaning and humidifying applications.

SMI incubators are provided with a plastic cap for the access port on the right side of the
incubation chamber. Always leave this cap in place, except when introducing sensor
probes into the chamber, such as those used for temperature calibrations. Removing the
cap during normal operations can adversely impact temperature stability and uniformity.
