Preliminary Cleaning
Your new incubator 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 unit has an access port built into each side of the cabinet. The ports are designed
to allow customer access for equipment validation or for installation of other equipment
inside the chamber. These ports should be sealed with the provided rubber stoppers to
allow the incubator to function properly. Install the stoppers provided in the port on each
side of the unit.
Installing the Shelves
Models 7400-25 / 33 incubators include sliding perforated stainless steel shelves. Each
shelf requires two shelf channels for installation. Prior to installation, take time to
consider what the size of the product being placed in the incubator will be and set the
shelf spacing accordingly. Additional shelving can be purchased through CARON
customer service if necessary.
To install the shelf channels slide on end of the shelf track into the appropriate shelf
location in the rear plenum. Hook the front of the shelf track into the corresponding
location on either the right or left side front shelf support pilaster. Repeat the process on
the opposite side of the incubator.
Shelf capacity: each perforated shelf is capable of supporting a
uniformly distributed load of 50 lbs.
The maximum chamber capacity is 500 pounds (stationary). Optional
shelving is available for supporting heavy loads such as shakers or cell
rollers. Chamber should be empty when being moved.
Do not pull multiple loaded shelves out simultaneously or
the chamber may tip.
