PERATION
Putting the incubator into operation in a new workspace environment requires an 8-hour period for
the unit to come up to and stabilize at temperature prior to loading the incubation chamber with
samples. During this period the incubator must be powered with the chamber door closed. Allowing
time for stabilization helps protect samples. It is also necessary for the optional temperature display
accuracy verification procedures, as well as any resulting calibration.
Perform the following steps and procedures to prepare the incubator for use each time it is installed
in a new workspace environment:
1. Plug the power cord into the workspace supply outlet
2. Place the Power switch in the ON ( I ) position
3. Perform the following Operation procedures in order:
