INSTALLATION
Location
To assure proper ventilation, allow a minimum of
4" of clearance between the rear, top, and sides
of the incubator and adjacent walls. If two or more
incubators are positioned side by side, allow a
minimum of 8" between cabinets. Adjust the front
leveling feet of the incubator so that the front is
higher than the rear. This will assist in door closing.
Choose a site free from rapidly changing ambient
temperature conditions.
CAUTION
THE INCUBATOR SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED IN
AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS 90°F, AS THE
COMPRESSOR THERMO-OVERLOAD WILL BE
TRIPPED AND WILL RESULT IN A WIDE BAND
CONTROL CYCLE OF APPROXIMATELY ±4°C.
SUCH CYCLING SHOULD NOT BE
MISINTERPRETED AS A MALFUNCTION OF THE
ELECTRONIC CONTROLS.
Radiators, air-conditioning outlets, other ventilating
system outlets, and drafts can affect the operation
of the incubator by a sudden inrush of air that is at
a temperature different than operating conditions.
WARNING
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPARATUS MUST
BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this instrument is equipped with
a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with
a standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle
to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard
from this apparatus. The customer should have
the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.
Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it is the personal responsibility and obligation of
the user to have it replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
WARNING
DO NOT -- UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM
THE POWER CORD. DO NOT USE A TWO-PRONG
ADAPTER PLUG.
Determine the total amount of current presently
being used by other apparatus connected to the
circuit that will be used for this unit.
It is critical that the added current demand and
other equipment on the circuit not exceed the rating
of the fuse or circuit breaker in use.
CAUTION
BE SURE THAT THE POWER SUPPLY IS OF THE
SAME VOLTAGE AS SPECIFIED ON THE
NAMEPLATE.
When loading the incubator, a space of 1/2" must
be allowed between adjacent items. This will allow
maximum air circulation, which is necessary for
proper temperature uniformity. The uniformity will
be adversely affected if air circulation is obstructed.
Liquid containers should never be placed in the
incubator without covers. The evaporation of
moisture within the chamber will only add frost and
hasten the need for defrosting. This chamber is
not self-defrosting.
Excessive frost buildup on the evaporator coil
located on the lower rear wall will also affect
temperature uniformity.
WARNING
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. DO NOT PLACE ANY EXPLOSIVE,
COMBUSTIBLE, OR FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN
THE CHAMBER.
2. DO NOT PLACE SEALED CONTAINERS IN THE
CHAMBER. SEALED CONTAINERS, FILLED WITH
MATERIALS DO NOT PROVIDE ROOM FOR
EXPANSION AND CAN DEVELOP DANGEROUS
VAPOR PRESSURE AS THE TEMPERATURE
INCREASES.
3. AVOID SPILLAGE OF LIQUIDS WITHIN THE
CHAMBER.
4. DO NOT EVAPORATE NOXIOUS FUMES.
CAUTION
DO NOT STORE CONTAINERS FILLED WITH ACIDIC
OR CAUSTIC SOLUTIONS, AS VAPORS FROM
THESE MATERIALS WILL ATTACK THE
EVAPORATOR AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
