Operation
Startup and Operation
1. When the cordset is plugged into an outlet, the
incubator is ready for use. Turn the power switch
ON. Note thermostat knob on lower right hand side
of incubator-rotate the thermostat knob clockwise to
increase the temperature, counterclockwise to
lower the temperature. The status lamp is lit when
the heaters are energized.
2. Allow one hour for the temperature inside the
chamber to stabilize; then check the thermometer.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until the desired setting is
obtained. The incubator is then ready to be loaded.
4. Load the incubator so that items or specimens are
spaced far enough apart to allow for proper air cir-
culation.
5. Insofar as possible, keep the incubator door closed
in order to reduce possibility of fungus growth start-
ing from airborne organisms entering the chamber.
