INSTALLATION
This unit should remain upright for 24 hours prior to operating to allow the oil in the
refrigeration compressor to settle.
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.
Operating Conditions: For optimum performance use your incubator at room temperatures
between 18 and 25 C, at no greater than 80% relative humidity. If you intend to operate the
unit in conditions outside of these limits contact customer service.
2.1 Power Source: Before connecting the unit to the power source, the electrical supply
circuit must conform to all national and local electrical codes. The power source must
match the cycle and ampere requirements as noted on the data plate located on the side
of the incubator. This unit is intended for 50/60 HZ application. VOLTAGE SHOULD
NOT VARY BY MORE THAN 10% FROM THE DATA PLATE RATING. A separate
circuit is recommended to prevent possible loss of product due to the overloading or
failure of other equipment on the same circuit.
2.2 Location: When selecting a site for the incubator, consider all conditions that may
affect performance, such as extreme heat from radiators, stoves, ovens, autoclaves, etc.
Avoid direct sun, fast moving air currents, heating and cooling ducts, and high traffic
areas. To ensure air circulation around the unit, allow a minimum of 20cm (8
”) between
incubator and any walls or partitions that may obstruct free airflow.
2.3 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.
2.4 Leveling: The unit must sit level and solidly. Turn the leveling feet counterclockwise to
raise the level. If the unit must be moved, turn the leveling feet in all the way to prevent
bending and damage.
2.5 Cleaning: The unit chamber should be cleaned and disinfected prior to use. Remove all
of the interior parts, if assembled, and clean thoroughly, including all corners using a
suitable 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 will damage the stainless steel 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.
