Shut-down
Shutting the Incubator Down
This chapter provides instructions for shutting the incubator down for prolonged periods of time,
that is, at least for several days in a row.
1. Remove the containers with the cultures, all accessories, and other objects from the work
space.
2. Clean and disinfect the work space, as explained in the section “Cleaning and Disinfection”
on page 35.
3. Before cleaning and disinfection and/or decontamination, turn the incubator off using the
control panel.
4. Unplug the power cord and secure it against accidental reconnection.
5. Until the incubator is shut down, the work space must be continuously ventilated. Leave the
glass door and the outer door open and secure them against accidental closure.
Contamination hazard
If the work space surfaces are contaminated, harmful biological material may spread
to the environment of the incubator.
To rule out any risk for subsequent users, perform a full cleaning, disinfection and
decontamination cycle to the standards set out in the section “Cleaning and
Disinfection” on page 35 if you suspect (or if you are positive) that harmful biological
material has been processed with the incubator.
