DO NOT place the incubator:
• 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 a –86 o
C
freezer);
• Near a window exposed to direct, unshaded sunlight.
Place the incubator in the working position, on a level surface capable of bearing its
weight of approximately 70.5 lbs/32 kg (actual use weight will be heavier and will
depend on the options installed and the material stored in the incubator).
The incubator is not designed to be directly stackable. A second incubator may be
safely stacked on top of another identical incubator by using the custom-designed
stacking stand available as an accessory for the Galaxy 48 R. It is not possible to put
any other type of incubator or heavy apparatus on top, as the top cover and stacking
stand were not designed to support any other device.
2.5 Installing the Feet
To ensure adequate airflow for correct operation of the relative humidity control system
the incubator feet must be installed. More than one person is required to perform this
operation.
To insert the adjustable feet:
1. If they are not already installed, install the locking nuts onto each of the four feet
provided.
2. Beginning with the front pair: tilt the incubator toward the back, and screw the feet
in, to the required depth.
3. Tilt the incubator forward to install the rear pair of feet.
4. Put an anti-slip pad (provided) on each foot.
2.6 Setting Up
Install the power cord:
1. Insert the power cord into its receptacle on the back on the incubator.
2. Press the cord firmly into its socket.
