4.4 Location
The incubator/shaker is designed to operate at a chamber temperature of 4.0 °C above ambient.
If the incubator/shaker is being operated at 37 °C, the absolute minimum ambient temperature
recommended is 18 °C. Maximum allowable ambient temperature is 25 °C.
Care should be taken to avoid placing the incubator/shaker in a position that may affect its
performance, such as those listed below.
DO NOT place the incubator/shaker:
• Directly under, beside or within the air flow of heating or air-conditioning ducts, or other drafts
• Directly beside heat-generating equipment such as a heater, an autoclave or an oven
• Near the exhaust of heat- or cold-generating equipment (like an ultra-low temperature
freezer)
• Near a window exposed to direct sunlight
• Directly on top of any heat-generating apparatus
• Without minimum ventilation clearance of 10 mm (0.5 in) all around
 Remove the incubator/shaker from the pallet as described in Unpacking (see Unpacking on
p. 11).
 Place the incubator/shaker in the working position, on a level floor capable of bearing its
weight. You may need to rotate the incubator/shaker feet to raise them, in order to rest the
incubator/shaker on its castors to be moved more easily (see Fig. 2 on p. 12).
