17.2 Decommissioning
Turn off the main power switch (2) and disconnect the unit from the power supply (pull the power
plug).
Turn off the CO
2
supply. Remove the gas connection.
Let the inner chamber sufficiently cool down before removing any parts.
The water pan must not remain filled while the incubator is out of operation. Otherwise condensation
may occur on the inner surfaces, as well as in the injection and suction nozzle of the CO
2
sensor com-
partment. If condensation formation has occurred, drops of condensate would leak from the openings
of injection and suction nozzle of the CO
2
sensor. In this case, clean and dry the incubator running at
37 °C / 98.6 °F with doors open for at least one hour before loading it with samples. BINDER recom-
mends performing a hot air sterilization of the unit before commissioning.
Temporal decommissioning: See indications for appropriate storage, chap. 3.3.
Final decommissioning: Dispose of the unit as described in chap. 17.3 to 17.5.
When restarting the unit, please pay attention to the corresponding information in chap. 6.2.
17.3 Disposal of the unit in the Federal Republic of Germany
According to directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE), BINDER devices are classified as “monitoring and control instruments”

The CO
2
incubator C 150 bears the symbol for the marking of electrical and electronic
equipment manufactured / placed on the market in the EC after 13 August 2005. It must be
disposed of in separate collection according to the directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical
and electronic equipment (WEEE) and German national law for electrical and electronic
equipment (Elektro- und Elektronikgerätegesetz, ElektroG). WEEE marking: crossed-out
wheeled bin with solid bar under. A significant part of the materials must be recycled in
order to protect the environment.
At the end of the device’s service life have the device disposed of according to the German national law
