4.3 Water pan
The water pan permits high humidity without condensation on the inner walls of the incubator.
Place the positioning frame
on the two marks at the bot-
tom of the inner chamber.
Then put the water pan in
the positioning frame. Make
sure that the water pan has
firm contact with the inner
chamber bottom and rests
tightly on it.
Figure 13: Placed positioning frame Figure 14: Placed water pan
Fill the water pan with 300 ml of distilled, sterilized water.
We recommend cleaning (chap. 15.1) and refilling the pans 2 to 3 times a week. For evacuation, remove
the water pan.
We recommend using distilled, sterile water to achieve optimum growth results. Any corrosive damage
that may arise following use of water of different quality or by additives is excluded from the liability
agreement.
If required, you can add microbiologically inhibiting substances such as copper chips, copper sulphate or
ethylene diamine tetra-vinegar acid (EDTA) in a concentration of
1 to 5 mmol/l.
Empty the water pan before moving the incubator. In case of the contents spilling, immediately shut down
the incubator and dry it carefully and completely.
4.4 Gas connection
General information for safe handling of gas cylinders:
Store and use gas cylinders only in well ventilated areas.
Open the gas cylinder valve slowly to avoid pressure surges
Secure gas cylinders during storage and use against falling (chaining).
Transport gas cylinders with a cylinder cart, do not carry, roll, or throw them
Always close the valve even with apparently empty cylinders; screw on the cap when not in
use. Return gas cylinders with the valve closed
Do not open gas cylinders by force. Mark them when damaged
Protect gas cylinders against fire, e.g. do not store together with flammable liquids
Observe relevant regulations for dealing with gas cylinders.
Secure the gas cylinders against falling and other mechanical damage.
WARNING
Safety valve tearing off.
Sudden release of the stored pressure energy.
Risk of injury.
 Secure gas cylinders against falling (chaining).
 Transport gas cylinders with a cylinder cart.
