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. It is unnecessary for this unit to be installed by a technician.
Under normal circumstances this unit is intended for use inside, at room temperatures between 5°C
and 40°C, at no greater than 75% relative humidity (at 25°C) and with a supply voltage that does
not vary by more than 10%. Customer Service should be contacted for operating conditions outside
of these limits.
3.1 Power Source: See the unit's serial data plate for voltage, cycle, wattage and ampere
requirements. If matched to your power source, plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT VARY MORE THAN 10% FROM THE SERIAL PLATE RATING.
These units are intended for 50/60 Hz application. A separate circuit is recommended to
preclude loss of product due to overloading or circuit failure. Note that electrical supply to
the unit must conform to all local and national electrical codes.
3.2 Location: In selecting a site, consider all conditions which may affect performance, such as
extreme heat from steam radiators, stoves, 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 5cm between the unit and any walls or partitions which
might obstruct free air flow.
Caution: Position and level the apparatus before connecting to water supply.
3.3 Lifting and 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
unit should be completely restrained from tipping during lifting or 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.
3.4 Leveling: The unit must sit level and solidly. Leveling feet (supplied) are to be installed at
the holes in the base of the unit. Turn them counterclockwise to raise level. If the unit must
be moved, turn the leveling feet in all the way to prevent damage.
3.5 Cleaning: The incubator was cleaned at the factory, but not sterilized. It should be
disinfected prior to use. Remove all interior parts including shelves and shelf assembles.
Clean the chamber with a disinfectant that is appropriate to your application. Similar periodic
cleaning is strongly recommended. DO NOT USE chlorine-based bleaches or abrasives
as this will damage the stainless steel interior. DO NOT USE spray cleaners that might
leak through openings and cracks and get on electrical parts or that may contain solvents
that will harm the coatings. A similar periodic cleaning is recommended.
WARNING: Never clean the unit with alcohol or flammable cleaners with the unit connected
to the electrical supply. Always disconnect the unit form the electrical service when cleaning
