INSTALLATION
Local city, county, or other ordinances may govern the use of this equipment. If you have any questions
about local requirements, please contact the appropriate local agency. Installation may be performed by the
end user.
Under normal circumstances this unit is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures between 5

and
35

C, at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity (at 25

) and with a supply voltage that does not vary by
more than 10%. The unit’s technical and environmental specifications includes: altitude not exceeding
2000 m operating and Pollution Degree of 2. Customer service should be contacted for operating
conditions outside of these limits.
2.1 Power Source: The unit power requirements are listed on the data plate. PLUG THE UNIT INTO A
PROPERLY GROUNDED AND RATED RECEPTACLE OF THE CORRECT STYLE. A separate
circuit is recommended for this unit to prevent loss of product due to overloading or circuit failures
caused by other equipment. The power supply must be properly grounded (earthed) and correctly
sized to match the unit nameplate rating. The supply voltage must match the nameplate voltage
within +/- 10%. The US market units are designed for 110 volts @ 50/60 Hz, 6.0 Amps. The EU
market units are designed for 220 volts @ 50/60 Hz, 3.0 Amps. If supplied with a detachable cord
set, plug the female end into the inlet on the unit and the male plug into the supply. Assure that
units requiring fuses have them installed. The fuse is a T type, 10 Amp for 110 vol units, 6.3 Amp
for 220 volt units. This fuse may be at the inlet or a part of the cord set male plug. The unit must be
located to easily allow for it to be unplugged or disconnected.
2.2 Location: In selecting a location, consider all conditions, which might affect performance, such as
heat from radiators, ovens, autoclaves, etc. Avoid direct sun, fast-moving air currents,
heating/cooling ducts and high-traffic areas. To ensure air circulation around the unit, allow a
minimum of 10cm (4
”) between the unit and walls or partitions which might obstruct free airflow.
2.3 Lifting / Handling: These units are heavy and care should be taken to use appropriate lifting
devices that are sufficiently rated for these loads. Units should only be lifted from their bottom
surfaces. Doors, handles and knobs are not adequate for lifting or stabilization. The units should
be completely restrained from tipping during lifting and transport. All moving parts, such as shelves
and trays should be removed and doors need to be positively locked in the closed position during
transfer to prevent shifting and damage.
2.4 Leveling: The unit must sit level and solidly. Leveling feet are supplied and must be installed in
the four holes in the bottom corners of the unit. With the feet installed and the unit standing upright,
each foot can be raised by turning it in a counterclockwise direction. Adjust the foot at each corner
until the unit stands level and solid without rocking. If the unit is to be moved, turn the leveling feet
all the way clockwise to prevent damage while moving.
2.5 Cleaning: The unit chamber was cleaned with a decontaminant at the factory, but it should be
cleaned and disinfected prior to use. Operating conditions and appropriate protocol will
determine the correct procedure for decontamination. A typical decontamination procedure that
is adequate for many situations is described below, as are certain steps that will help reduce the
likelihood of contamination and the necessity of decontamination. Whatever process is
appropriate, it needs to be done on a regularly scheduled basis. Depending on usage and
protocol, this may be monthly, quarterly or otherwise. Regardless of the decontamination
procedure used, certain precautions will need to be taken:
A. Always disconnect the unit from the electrical service when cleaning.
