INITIAL CLEANING METHOD
Before using the incubator for the first time, clean dirt (tape residue, smear, etc.) from the
chamber and the inner attachments thoroughly. To keep the chamber clean is essential
to get the proper performance out of the incubator. Use the following steps to clean the
incubator properly.

2.
Clean the removed inner attachments, chamber inside walls and inner door gaskets with a cloth or
sponge soaked in neutral detergent, diluted by 5 % or less. (Undiluted detergent can damage the plastic
components. For the dilution, refer to the instruction of the detergent.) (Fig. 1)
CAUTION
Do not use detergents or antiseptic solutions with acid, alkali, or chlorine. Doing so may cause
discoloration, corrosion, or rusting.
Be careful to keep the diluted detergent or water out of the temperature sensor, the CO
