Preliminary Cleaning
Your new incubator was thoroughly cleaned prior to leaving the factory. It is
recommended however, to disinfect all interior surfaces with a general purpose
laboratory cleaning agent prior to using the product. After cleaning, dry all interior
components with a sterile cloth as necessary.
Installing the Port Stoppers
The 7404-10 has an access port built into the right side of the cabinet. The port is
designed to allow customer access for equipment validation and for installation of other
equipment inside the incubator. These ports should be sealed with the provided silicone
stoppers to allow the incubator to function properly. Install the stopper provided in the
port on the right side of the unit.
Installing the Shelves
Each new incubator includes three perforated stainless steel shelves. Each shelf
requires two shelf channels for installation. The left and right shelf tracks are the same.
Prior to installation, take time to consider what the size of the product being placed in the
incubator will be and set the shelf spacing accordingly. Additional shelving can be
purchased through CARON customer service if necessary.
To install the shelf channels insert the rear tab on the shelf channel into the rear pilaster
on the side wall of the incubator. Then insert the front tab into the front pilaster. Push
the entire shelf channel towards the rear of the unit and snap it down into place.
Each shelf is capable of supporting a uniformly
distributed load of 50 pounds. The maximum
incubator capacity is 200 pounds. An optional re-
enforced floor is available for heavy loads.
Do not have multiple loaded shelves out
simultaneously or the incubator may tip.
