Leveling the Unit
The unit must sit level from side to side and from front to back. While the unit does not have to be absolutely
level, each of the four feet should be in firm contact with the surface on which the incubator is to be run.
Install the four leveling feet in the four holes in the bottom of the unit. When the feet are installed, you can
raise or lower a corner of the unit by turning its foot clockwise or counterclockwise, respectively.
In the case of stacked units, the adjustable feet in the top unit are replaced by stacking pins. These pins will
mate and self align with the stacking pin receivers on the top of the bottom unit. These pins are leveled by
adjustment in a similar fashion as the leveling feet.
To level the incubator
1. Insert a leveling foot into each of the four holes at the bottom of the unit.
2. Adjust the foot at each corner until the unit stands level and solid without rocking.
If you move the incubator to a different location, be sure to re-level the incubator at the new location.
Sterilizing Your Unit
The interior of your incubator was cleaned at the factory but is not sterile. For information on sterilizing your
unit, see “Disinfecting Your Unit“ on page 15.
Installing Sample Tray
Your unit comes with a sample tray as standard equipment.
To install the sample tray
1. Make sure the latches are in the unlatched or UP position.
2. Enclose all corners of the shaking mechanism within the lips of the sample tray. This can be done easily by
positioning the front two corners and then setting the rest of the tray down.
3. Shake the tray by its handles to confirm that it is firmly in place.
4. Secure the latches by moving them into the DOWN position.
Plugging the Unit into a Power Source
We recommend that you plug your incubator into a circuit separate from other equipment. This prevents damage or
destruction of the incubator caused by overloading or failure of other equipment on the same circuit.
The electrical supply circuit to the incubator must conform to all national and local electrical codes. The voltage supplied
to your unit should not vary from the data plate rating by more than 10%.
WARNING
For your own safety, do not plug the unit into a power source until you have read and understood
the safety and operational instructions in this manual.
To connect the unit to a power source
1. Be sure the plug and the cord are in good condition. If the power cord is worn, cut or damaged in any way, do not
use it. Contact customer service for a replacement power cord. For information on contacting customer service, see
page 22.
2. Plug the service cord firmly into a grounded electrical outlet. If the plug does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
