– PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Your CARON incubator has been robustly designed to minimize performance problems.
However, regular maintenance is very important for continuous trouble free operation.
As a general rule, CARON recommends an annual calibration check of the temperature,
humidity, CO2 systems. CARON offers a full range of on-site calibration and validation
services. We also offer preventative maintenance contracts on our equipment. Contact
our service department for details at 740-373-6809 or visit us on the web at

Recommended Daily Maintenance Checks
 Check the Temperature, humidity, and CO2 displays versus set-points.
 Check for and correct any alarm condition.
Recommended Monthly Maintenance Checks
 Check to ensure the drain in the bottom of the unit is draining properly.
 Check front air intake filter. If it is dirty replace it with CARON part number FLTR301.
Washing the filter will result in poor performance.
Recommended Annual Maintenance Checks
 Disinfect all interior surfaces with a general purpose laboratory cleaning agent.
 Perform a complete calibration of the temperature, humidity, and CO2 systems.
 A full validation is recommended for GMP facilities each time a unit is installed,
moved or undergoes significant repair. Contact CARON’s service department to
schedule on-site validation.
