Operating the Incubator

To turn the incubator on, switch the power switch to the on (I) position.
Set the desired chamber temperature. The heater lamp will illuminate and
remain lit until the chamber temperature reaches the set temperature.
After reaching the set temperature, the heater lamp will cycle on and off
with the heater operation. Allow a 60 minute chamber temperature
equilibration when starting the incubator from a cold start. Allow at least
15 to 30 minutes for re-equilibration when changing temperatures. To turn
the incubator off, switch the power switch to the off (O) position.
