- Page 3 INCU-C Series V2018.1.1 Safety instruction! Please be sure to follow the instructions, they are really im- portant for your safety. Danger! Warning against damage and injury. 1. The electrical supply circuit to the incubator must conform to all national and local electric codes.
- Page 4 INCU-C Series V2018.1.1 Attention! Instructions for optimal performance 1. The unit must be placed horizontally on a solid, flat floor or table. 2. The incubator needs even heat lost on all surfaces in order to maintain small internal temperature variations. As a result, a minimum of 20 cm must be allowed between the rear and sides of the incubator and any walls, partitions or obstructions to facilitate adequate convection of air around the unit.
