• Leveling Feet - Used to level the unit
Note: The incubators are stackable. See Section 1.5.b.
1.2 Inventory Management System
Included in the parts bag
shipped with each unit is an invento-
ry management system. This system
consists of:
• A steel plate
• Five different colored magnets
• Five heat-resistant shelf labels
• Dry-Erase marker
Hang the plate on the inside of the outer door, using the
keyholes and hardware already installed on the door. Attach a
colored shelf label to the front edge of each shelf. The magnets
may be aligned on the plate, in order according to shelf label
color. Use the marker to record information about the product
on corresponding shelves. The magnets can be erased as needed
and rewritten.
The inventory management system magnet plate will not
withstand the heat of the sterilization cycle. Simply unhook the
whole plate from the outer door and set aside before initiating
the cycle, then reinstall afterward.
