  • Page 18: Cautions For Using Equipment In Chamber

    CAUTIONS FOR USING EQUIPMENT IN CHAMBER ● Avoid abnormal temperature increase when an equipment is used in the chamber When using a heat emitting equipment such as a shaker or a bottle roller, the chamber temperature may rise abnormally. Abnormal rising of the chamber temperature is dangerous, so make sure to operate equipment without abnormal temperature rising.
  • Page 19: Prevent Contamination

    PREVENT CONTAMINATION To prevent contamination of the chamber, select an appropriate location for installation as well as the complete disinfection of the chamber components. ● Avoid hot and humid location Avoid location with high temperature and/or humidity as the presence of bacteria in the air is greater than in normal environment.
  • Page 20: Cautions For Culture

    CAUTIONS FOR CULTURE ● Do not subject to direct air flow Do not allow the air for air conditioning to hit the unit or door directly. Direct hit may cause condensation or contamination. ● Tray Make sure to set the bottom tray to the bottom position of side duct with tray support. This may cause condensation on bottom cover by varying air flow inside chamber.
