Preliminary Cleaning
Your new environmental chamber was thoroughly cleaned prior to leaving the factory. It
is recommended however, to disinfect all interior surfaces with a general purpose
laboratory cleaning agent prior to using the product. After cleaning, dry all interior
components with a sterile cloth as necessary.
Installing the Port Stoppers
The 6010 product family has an access port built into the right side of the cabinet. The
port is designed to allow customer access for equipment validation and for installation of
other equipment inside the chamber. These ports should be sealed with the provided
silicone stoppers to allow the chamber to function properly. Install the stopper provided
in the port on the right side of the unit.
Installing the Shelves
Each new environmental chamber includes three perforated stainless steel shelves.
Each shelf requires two shelf channels for installation. The left and right shelf tracks are
the same. Prior to installation, take time to consider what the size of the product being
placed in the environmental chamber will be and set the shelf spacing accordingly.
Additional shelving can be purchased through CARON customer service if necessary.
To install the shelf channels insert the rear tab on the shelf channel into the rear pilaster
on the side wall of the incubator. Then insert the front tab into the front pilaster. Push
the entire shelf channel towards the rear of the unit and snap it down into place.
Each shelf is capable of supporting a uniformly
distributed load of 50 pounds. The maximum
chamber capacity is 200 pounds. An optional re-
enforced floor is available for heavy loads.
