WARNING
Use the reagent specified by our company for H

decontamination. Using a different H
2
O

solution
may cause explosion or damage to the incubator, or insufficient decontamination.
Do not use chemicals other than the H
2
O
2
reagent, such as alcohol. Doing so may result in damage to
the H
2
O
2
vapor generator.
WARNING
When performing H
2
O
2
decontamination, make sure that the gastight split doors, the inner door and
the outer door are securely closed. During H
2
O
2
decontamination, plug the access hole with the silicon
caps that are provided. Failure to do so may be harmful to health due to leakage of H
2
O
2
gas.
CAUTION
H
2
O
2
decontamination can be performed only for the chamber and inner attachments with standard
specifications, and not for any other objects.
CAUTION
Perform H
2
O
2
decontamination with the inner attachments arranged as specified by our company.
Arranging them in a different way may result in insufficient decontamination.
CAUTION
Wear rubber gloves when handling the H
2
O
2
reagent. Direct contact with the H
2
O
2
reagent may result in
inflammation of the skin.
CAUTION
After H
2
O
2
decontamination has been completed, residual H
2
O
2
solution will remain on the bottom of the
chamber, the H
2
O

vapor generator, and the bottom of the duct. Wearing protective glasses and rubber
gloves, wipe it off with a non-woven cloth. Failure to do so may result in a deficient culture.
