INSTALLATION
The end user can perform installation. Only use this equipment for its intended application; any alterations
or modifications void the warranty. Local city, county, or other ordinances govern the use of this
equipment. If you have any questions about local requirements, please contact the appropriate local
agency.
This incubator is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures between 15

and 30

C, at no greater
than 80% Relative Humidity (at 25

C), and with a supply voltage that does not vary by more than 10%.
Contact customer service for operating conditions outside these limits (refer to the back cover for contact
information).
L
OCATION
When selecting a location to install the incubator, consider all conditions that can affect performance, for
example:
 Heating and cooling ducts
 Stoves and Autoclaves
 Direct sun
 Fast moving air currents
 High-traffic areas
Allow a minimum of 10 cm between the incubator and walls or partitions and 5 cm of clearance above the
top of the incubator for unobstructed airflow. Position the unit so the end-user has access to the power
plug.
L IFTING AND H ANDLING
The incubator is heavy and care should be taken to use appropriate lifting devices that are sufficiently
rated for these loads. Follow these guidelines when lifting and handling the incubator:
 Lift incubators only from their bottom surface.
 Doors, handles, and knobs are not adequate for lifting or stabilization.
 Restrain the incubator completely while lifting or transporting so it cannot tip.
 Remove all moving parts, such as shelves and trays, and lock doors in the closed position during
transfer to prevent shifting and damage.
L EVELING
You must make sure that the incubator is level and stable. Each incubator ships with four leveling feet.
Insert one leveling foot into each of the four holes in the bottom corners of the incubator. Stand the
incubator upright. Then, adjust the foot at each corner until the incubator stands level and solid without
rocking. To raise a foot, turn it in a counterclockwise direction; to lower a foot, turn it in a clockwise
direction.
Note: To prevent damage when moving the incubator, turn each of the four leveling feet completely
clockwise.
