17.2 Decommissioning
• Turn off the main power switch (2) and disconnect the unit from the power supply (pull the power
plug).
• Turn off the CO
2
supply. Remove the gas connection.
• Let the inner chamber sufficiently cool down before removing any parts.
• The water pan must not remain filled while the incubator is out of operation. Otherwise condensation
may occur on the inner surfaces, as well as in the injection and suction nozzle of the CO
2
sensor com-
partment. If condensation formation has occurred, drops of condensate would leak from the openings
of injection and suction nozzle of the CO
2
sensor. In this case, clean and dry the incubator running at
37 °C / 98.6 °F with doors open for at least one hour before loading it with samples. BINDER recom-
mends performing a hot air sterilization of the unit before commissioning.
• Disassembling the shelf holder takes place inside the chamber. Remove the shelves. Then fold both
lateral parts to the middle and remove them.
You cannot take out the shelf holder of the incubator entirely together with the shelves.
• Temporal decommissioning: See indications for appropriate storage, chap. 3.3.
• Final decommissioning: Dispose of the unit as described in chap. 17.3 to 17.5.
When restarting the unit, please pay attention to the corresponding information in chap. 6.2.
