sensors, such as Oxygen or Humidity, with the cover(s) supplied.
CAUTION!
It is very important to ensure that no liquid is spilled onto the white porous

sensor cover at the rear of the chamber. Failure to use the protective
cover(s) could result in damage to the sensor(s) and may affect your
warranty.

Sulphuric Acid.
7. Wipe the internal components of the chamber twice with the alcohol solution. Wipe
off excess liquid and leave it to dry completely.

incubator on. Wipe the inner door seal with the alcohol solution, rinse and leave to
dry.
9. Ensure the protective cover(s) are removed from the sensor(s) and replaced in the
holder for safekeeping (protective covers must also be removed from any additional
sensors installed, such as Oxygen or Humidity).

that the humidity tray is centered between the shelf rack supports.
