The incubator interior was cleaned at the factory but not sterilized. See the
User Maintenance section for more information.
Never use deionized water for cleaning the incubator! While DI water is useful in variety of
laboratory applications, it is an aggressive solvent that attacks most metals. Use of DI water in a
Shel Lab incubator voids the unit’s warranty. Sheldon Manufacturing recommends the use of
distilled water in the resistance range of 50K Ohm/cm to 1M Ohm/cm, or a conductivity range of
20.0 uS/cm to 1.0 uS/cm, for cleaning and any humidifying applications.
