INSTALLATION
This incubator is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures between 15

C and 30

C (59

F and
86

F), at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity at 25

C (77

F). Allow a minimum of 4 inches (10cm)
between the incubator and walls or partitions and 2 inches (5cm) of clearance above the top of the
incubator for unobstructed airflow. Position the unit so the end-user has access to the power plug.
Operating the unit outside of these conditions may adversely affect the temperature range and
stability.
For conditions outside of those listed above, please contact your distributor or Sheldon Sales to explore
other incubator options suited to your laboratory or production environment.
L OCATION
When selecting a location to install the incubator, consider all environmental conditions that can affect
unit’s effective temperature range, uniformity, and stability. For example:
 Ovens, autoclaves, and any device that produces significant radiant heat
 Heating and cooling ducts, or other sources of fast moving air currents
 High-traffic areas
 Direct sunlight
L IFTING AND H ANDLING
The incubator is heavy and care should be taken to use appropriate lifting devices that are sufficiently
rated for these loads. Follow these guidelines when lifting and handling the incubator.
 Lift the incubator only from its bottom surface.
 Doors, handles, and knobs are not adequate for lifting or stabilization.
 Restrain the incubator completely while lifting or transporting so it cannot tip.
 Remove all moving parts, such as shelves and trays. Secure the doors in the closed position
during transfer.
L
EVELING
Make sure that the incubator is level and stable. Each incubator ships with four leveling feet. Insert one
leveling foot into each of the four holes in the bottom corners of the incubator. Stand the incubator
upright. Then, adjust the foot at each corner until the incubator stands level and solid without rocking. To
raise a foot, turn it in a counterclockwise direction; to lower a foot, turn it in a clockwise direction.
Note: To prevent damage when moving the incubator, turn each of the four leveling feet completely
clockwise.
