Water Filling
Figure 5-2. Fill and Drain Valve Incubator
Through the water valve at the incubator, water can be filled using a re-filling funnel.
Figure 5-3. Refill Funnel
Hang the hooks of the refill device in the locks of the glass doors as shown above.

Connect the hose to the fill and drain valve.
The refill funnel determines the height difference of the water level in the incubator, according to the
principle of the communicating tubes.

Min. level is 0.5 L, max. level 3.5 L. The funnel contains approximately 0.4 L water.
• Insert the funnel in the water drain, wait for it to stabilize to show the approximate level of water.
• Fill the funnel to the top to facilitate gravity to fill with sterile distilled water. This may take up to
several times.
• Keep adding until the maximum level indicator is reached.
