
Read this entire manual before using the oven.

Be sure you follow any city, county, or other ordinances in your area regarding the use of this unit.

Use only approved accessories. Do not modify system components. Any alterations or modifications to your
incubator may be dangerous and will void your warranty.
 Always plug the unit’s power cord into a grounded electrical outlet that conforms to national and local electrical
codes. If the unit is not grounded, parts such as knobs and controls may conduct electricity and cause serious
injury.

Do not connect the unit to a power source of any other voltage or frequency beyond the range stated on the
power rating on the data plate of the unit.

Do not modify the power cord provided with the unit. If the plug does not fit an outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

Avoid damaging the power cord. Do not bend it excessively, step on it, place heavy objects on it. A damaged
cord can easily become a shock or fire hazard. Never use a power cord after it has become damaged.

