3. Operating controls

3.1 Temperature setting

When the mains switch is turned on the display shows the internal temperature of the incubator. The thermostatting function is always
active. The set temperature is shown on the display when the "up" or "down" buttons are pressed.
To increase the temperature setting press the "up" button, to decrease the setting press "down". The value increases or decreases in one-
digit steps, by keeping the button pressed for more than two seconds the numbers will run at a faster rate.

3.2 Introducing samples

Do not introduce products having a temperature higher than room temperature as this will raise the temperature inside the incubator and
risk damaging other products. The FOC 200I and FOC120I cooled incubators have an internal transparent door allowing the operator to
view the inside of the incubator without altering the internal temperature. Open the incubator door only when strictly necessary. By
reducing the number of times the door is opened you will avoid unnecessary temperature oscillations and reduce energy consumption.
Avoid introducing large quantities which would impair internal air circulation.
NOTE: do not place products or vessels near the rear wall since this impairs the vertical air flow along the wall.
Do not place products too near to the temperature probe since this will alter the internal temperature reading.The instrument has two
internal European sockets for the connection of VELP Scientifica instruments for BOD determination.
NOTE: instruments with a 230V power supply and a max. consumption of 3A only can be connected inside the unit.

3.3 Error messages

If an error message appears on the display, please contact VELP Scientifica's technical service department.
When the display shows an error message, the instrument's functions stop automatically.
AL1 Internal temperature too low
NOTE: to remove the error message turn the instrument off and on again.

4. Maintenance

No routine or extraordinary maintenance is necessary apart from periodically cleaning the unit as described in this manual.
In compliance with the product guarantee law, repairs to our units must be carried out in our factory, unless previously agreed otherwise
with local distributors. The instrument must be transported in its original packaging and any indications present on the original packaging
must be followed (e.g. palletized).
It is the responsibility of the user, to properly decontaminate the unit in case of hazardous substances remaining on the surface or interior
of the device. If in doubt about the compatibility of a cleaning or decontamination product, contact the manufacturer or distributor.

4.1 Cleaning

Disconnect the unit from the power supply and use a cloth dampened with an non-inflammable non-aggressive detergent.
