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.
Under normal circumstances this unit is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures between 5

and
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.
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.
