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

above ambient to
40

C, at no greater than 80% 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: The electrical supply circuit to the incubator must conform to all national and local electrical
codes. Consult the incubator’s serial data plate for the voltage and ampere requirements before making
connection. VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT VARY MORE THAN 10% FROM THE SERIAL PLATE RATING.
This unit is intended for 50/60 Hz application. A separate circuit is recommended to prevent possible loss of
product due to overloading or failure of other equipment on the same circuit.
3.2 Location: When selecting a site for the incubator, 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 10cm between incubators and any walls or partitions that might obstruct free airflow.
3.3 Lifting / Handling: This unit is heavy and care should be taken to use appropriate lifting devices that are
sufficiently rated for this load. The unit should only be lifted from its bottom surface. 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. The unit is equipped with non-adjustable rubber feet to raise it
off the counter and prevent sliding; however, the counter must be level to provide optimum safety and
working conditions.
3.5 Cleaning: The incubator interior was cleaned at the factory, but not sterilized. Remove all interior parts,
including shelves and shelf clips and clean with a disinfectant that is appropriate to your application
. DO
NOT USE spray cleaners that might leak through openings and cracks and get on electrical components, or
that may contain solvents that will harm coatings. DO NOT USE chlorine-based bleaches or abrasives as they
may damage the interior. Regular periodic cleaning is required. Special care should be taken when cleaning
around sensing heads to prevent damage.
WARNING: Never clean the unit with alcohol or flammable cleaners with the unit connected to the
electrical supply. Always disconnect the unit from the electrical service when cleaning and assure all
volatile or flammable cleaners are evaporated and dry before reattaching the unit to the power supply.
3.6 Place shelves in the desired position, see Figure 1.
