MAINTENANCE
Note: Prior to performing maintenance and/or service on this incubator, disconnect the
unit from the power supply.
5.1 Cleaning: Cleaning and decontamination are recommended on a regular basis.
To prepare the unit for cleaning, disconnect the power cord and remove all
interior parts, such as shelves, trays, etc.
First clean the chamber with soap and water, rinse and let dry. To
decontaminate use a solution that is appropriate for your application. DO NOT
USE abrasives as this can damage the chamber interior. DO NOT USE spray
cleaners that might leak through openings and cracks and get on electrical parts
or that may contain solvents that will harm the coatings. NEVER USE acids,
chemical thinner, gasoline, benzene, or like for cleaning the unit. Boiling water
and benzine can deform and damage plastic parts.
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
evaporates and dry before reattaching the unit to the power supply.
5.2 Compressor Compartments: Located at the back and bottom of the unit, the
compressor compartment can collect dust that will inhibit proper air flow. This
compartment should be vacuumed out at least once every six (6) months to
ensure maximum efficiency.
5.3 Defrosting: Generally defrosting should not be necessary. If ice build-up occurs
it is usually attributed to open containers, loose closures or frequent door
openings causing excessive moisture to build up in the chamber. Try to
eliminate these as possibilities. To defrost, remove all items from the chamber
and let the unit stand with the door open and the POWER OFF. Once frost is
gone, empty drip tray, wipe the chamber dry and power up the unit.
5.4 Storage: If the incubator is to be shut down for storage or transport, remove all
items, drip tray and shelves and be certain the chamber is dry. Screw in the
leveling feet. Review section 2.3, Lifting / Handling for transport instructions.
5.5 There is no maintenance required on electrical components. If the unit fails to
operate as specified, please review section 6 Troubleshooting, prior to calling for
technical service.
