INSTALLATION
Local city, county or other ordinances may govern the use of this equipment. If you have any
questions about local requirements, please contact the appropriate local agency. Installation may
be performed by the end user.
Under normal circumstances this unit is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures between
5

and 40

C, at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity (at 25

C) and with a supply voltage that
does not vary by more than 10%. Customer service should be contacted for operating conditions
outside of these limits.
This unit should remain upright for 24 hours prior to turning on. This will allow the oil
settle to in the refrigeration compressor.
2.1 Power Source: The electrical supply circuit to the incubator must conform to all
national and local electrical codes. Consult the incubator’s serial data plate for
the voltage, cycle wattage and ampere requirements before making connection.
VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT VARY MORE THAN 10% FROM THE SERIAL PLATE
RATING. This unit is intended for 50/60 Hz application. A separate circuit is
recommended to prevent possible loss of product due to overloading or failure of
other equipment on the same circuit.
2.2 Location: When selecting a site for the incubator, consider all conditions which
may affect performance, such as extreme heat from steam radiators, stoves,
ovens autoclaves, etc. Avoid direct sun, fast-moving air currents, heating/cooling
ducts, and high traffic areas. To ensure air circulation around the unit allow a
minimum of 20cm between incubator rear and sides and any walls, partitions or
obstructions to free airflow.
2.3 Lifting / Handling: This unit is heavy and care should be taken to use
appropriate lifting devices that are sufficiently rated for these loads. Units should
only be lifted from their bottom surfaces. Doors, handles and knobs are not
adequate for lifting or stabilization. The unit should be completely restrained
from tipping during lifting or transport. All moving parts, such as shelves and
trays should be removed and doors need to be positively locked in the closed
position during transfer to prevent shifting and damage.
2.4 Leveling: The unit must sit level and solidly. Turn the leveling feet
counterclockwise to raise level. If the unit must be moved, turn the leveling feet
in all the way to prevent bending and damage.
2.5 Cleaning: The incubator interior was cleaned at the factory, but not sterilized.
Remove all interior parts and clean with a disinfectant that is appropriate for your
application. DO NOT USE abrasives as this will damage the incubators interior.
DO NOT USE spray cleaners that might leak through opening and cracks and
get on electrical parts or that may contain solvents that will harm the coatings. A
thorough periodic cleaning is strongly recommended.
WARNING: Never clean the unit with alcohol or flammable cleaners with the unit
connected to the electrical supply. Always disconnect the unit from the electrical
service when cleaning and assure all volatile or flammable cleaners are
evaporated and dry before reattaching the unit to the power supply.
