3.3 STORAGE
If the incubator has been in a cold location for a
period then it needs to acclimatise to room
temperature.

before start up. This will allow any condensation that may
have formed to dry. It will also stop the incubator from

using the stacking kit. DSection 10.
Correct location of an incubator is very important. The
incubator is designed to work in a typical laboratory
environment.
For good performance the ambient conditions should be at
least 6 °C below the working temperature.
E.g. for a set point of 37.0 °C the ambient temperature must
not exceed 31.0 °C.
If the difference between the set point and ambient
temperatures is less than 6.0 °C then the set point can be

x It should be in a well ventilated and dry area, but not
sited directly in the path of ventilation ducts.
x It should be free from vibration.
x It should be kept away from heat sources e.g. radiators,
heating pipes, refrigeration plant.
x It should not be in direct sunlight.
x To avoid contamination it should not be placed directly

Leave a clearance of 50 mm from each side and 100 m from
the rear.
Level the incubator by adjusting the two front feet. Place a
small spirit level on the centre position of the middle shelf as
a guide.
