Condensation The device should be in the room for a sufficiently long duration be- fore it is switched on, in order to ensure that it can reach the ambi- ent temperature.
  • Page 21 Proper loading To ensure sufficient air circulation and uniform heating of the sam- ples, do not use more than 70% of the maximum surface area of the useable space. Bulky objects in the useable space that dissipate heat may impair heat distribution.
  • Page 25 Contamination hazard If the useable space surfaces are contaminated, germs may spread to the environment of the incubator.
  • Page 27 Electrical shock Contact with live electrical components may cause a lethal electric shock. Disconnect the device from the mains before carrying out cleaning and disinfection work! • Switch the device off with button • Remove the plug from the socket and secure it against reconnection.
