INSTALLATION 

Local city, county or other ordinances may govern the use of this equipment.  If you have any questions 
about local requirements, please contact the appropriate local agency.  Installation may be performed by 
the end user. 

Under normal circumstances this unit is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures between 5

 and 

40

C, at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity (at 25

C) and with a supply voltage that does not vary by 

more than 10%.  Customer service should be contacted for operating conditions outside of these limits. 

This unit should remain upright for 24 hours prior to turning on.  This will allow the oil settle to in 
the refrigeration compressor. 

2.1 

Power Source:  

The electrical supply circuit to the incubator must conform to all national 

and local electrical codes.  Consult the incubator’s serial data plate for the voltage, cycle 
wattage  and  ampere  requirements  before  making  connection.    VOLTAGE  SHOULD 
NOT  VARY  MORE  THAN  10%  FROM  THE  SERIAL  PLATE  RATING.    This  unit  is 
intended  for  50/60  Hz  application.    A  separate  circuit  is  recommended  to  prevent 
possible  loss  of  product  due  to  overloading  or  failure  of  other  equipment  on  the  same 
circuit. 

2.2 

Location:

    When  selecting  a  site  for  the  incubator,  consider  all  conditions  which  may 

affect  performance,  such  as  extreme  heat  from  steam  radiators,  stoves,  ovens 
autoclaves,  etc.    Avoid  direct  sun,  fast-moving  air  currents,  heating/cooling  ducts,  and 
high  traffic  areas.    To  ensure  air  circulation  around  the  unit  allow  a  minimum  of  20cm 
between incubator rear and sides and any walls, partitions or obstructions to free airflow. 

2.3 

Lifting / Handling:  

This unit is heavy and care should be taken to use appropriate lifting 

devices that are sufficiently rated for these loads.  Units should only be lifted from their 
bottom surfaces.  Doors, handles and knobs are not adequate for lifting or stabilization.  
The  unit  should  be  completely  restrained  from  tipping  during  lifting  or  transport.    All 
moving  parts,  such  as  shelves  and  trays  should  be  removed  and  doors  need  to  be 
positively locked in the closed position during transfer to prevent shifting and damage. 

2.4 

Leveling:  

The unit must sit level and solidly.  Turn the leveling feet counterclockwise to 

raise  level.    If  the  unit  must  be  moved,  turn  the  leveling  feet  in  all  the  way  to  prevent 
bending and damage. 

2.5 

Cleaning:

  The incubator interior was cleaned at the factory, but not sterilized.  Remove 

all interior parts and clean with a disinfectant that is appropriate for your application.  DO 
NOT  USE  abrasives  as  this  will  damage  the  incubators  interior.  DO  NOT  USE  spray 
cleaners that might  leak through opening and cracks and get on electrical parts or that 
may contain solvents that will harm the coatings. A thorough periodic cleaning is strongly 
recommended. 

WARNING:   

Never  clean  the  unit  with  alcohol  or  flammable  cleaners  with  the  unit 

connected to the electrical supply.  Always disconnect the unit from the electrical service 
when  cleaning  and  assure  all  volatile  or  flammable  cleaners  are  evaporated  and  dry 
before reattaching the unit to the power supply.
