3.3 Storage
Intermediate storage of the unit is possible in a closed and dry room. Observe the guidelines for
temporary decommissioning (chap. 20.2).
•
Permissible ambient temperature range during storage: -10 °C / 14 °F to +60 °C / 140 °F.
• Permissible ambient humidity: max. 70 % r.H., non-condensing
When after storage in a cold location you transfer the unit to its warmer installation site, condensation
may form. Before start-up, wait at least one hour until the chamber has attained ambient temperature and
is completely dry.
3.4 Location of installation and ambient conditions
Notes on the location of installation
Set up the CO
2
incubator on a flat, even surface, free from vibration and in a well-ventilated, dry location.
The chambers are designed for setting up inside a building (indoor use).
Freestanding CB incubators are suitable for installation on tables or on the optionally available stand
(height 200 mm / 0.5 ft). Note: The site of installation must be capable of supporting the unit’s weight (see
technical data, chap.22.4).
Align the unit using a spirit level to ensure even covering of the cell-cultures with the medium. For this
purpose, manually adjust the four incubator feet.
CO
2
incubators can be stacked on top of each other (two units maximum). For safe stacking that is easy
to maintain, use the original BINDER stacking stand (chap. 15.8.1) or the stacking adapter (chap. 15.8.2).
CAUTION
Sliding of stacked unit.
Damage to the units.

When stacking, use rubber pads (Art. No. 8012-0376) for the feet of the upper
incubator.
To completely separate the unit from the power supply, you must disconnect the power plug. Install the
unit in a way that the power plug is easily accessible and can be easily pulled in case of danger.
In order to avoid contamination, never place the unit directly on the floor.
