– PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
The CARON incubator has been 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 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 service department for at 740-373-6809 details or visit us on

Recommended Daily Maintenance Checks
 Check the Temperature, humidity, and CO2 displays versus set-points.
 Check for and correct any alarm condition.
Recommended Monthly Maintenance Checks
 Check to ensure the drain in the bottom of the unit is draining properly.
 Check front air intake filter. If it is dirty replace it with CARON part number FLTR303.
Washing the filter will result in poor performance.
Recommended Annual Maintenance Checks
 Disinfect all interior surfaces with a general purpose laboratory cleaning agent.
 Perform a complete calibration of the temperature and humidity systems.
 A full validation is recommended for GMP facilities each time a unit is installed,
moved or
undergoes significant repair. Contact CARON’s service department to
schedule on-site validation.
