C. Installation
Place the heating base on a level surface within a few feet of the power source. The unit
should be positioned to have clearance along the top so that the lid can be opened
completely without interference. Leave at least 3 inches of clearance from the back panel
for air circulation.
Assemble and insert both incubation chambers into the heating base. See Section III-B for
how to handle chambers.
Both incubation chambers, a tube block or a waterbath insert
must be placed inside the heating unit before turning on power.
Plug the provided power cord into the back of the unit and then to a properly grounded
outlet. Use only the power cord provided. Turn on power to the system using the switch on
the front of the unit.
