SECTION 12 – PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Your CARON incubator is robustly designed to minimize performance problems.
However, regular maintenance is very important for continuous trouble free operation.
As a general rule, CARON recommends an annual calibration check of the temperature,
humidity (optional), and CO2 systems. CARON offers a full range of on-site calibration
and validation services. We also offer preventative maintenance contracts on our
equipment. Contact our customer service department for details or visit us on the web
