10.0 Cleaning and Maintenance
NOTE: Be sure to disconnect the power cord before cleaning or decontaminating the oven.
No routine maintenance is required for the electrical or mechanical components of the unit. The incubator exterior, interior, and
rotisserie should be wiped down periodically with a soft damp cloth with mild soap. NOTE: Do not use chlorine-based bleach or
abrasives. Any spills in the incubator and/or on the rotisserie should be cleaned up immediately.
10.1 Decontamination
Should a spill occur in the oven, it is easily cleaned by wiping the affected area first with a dilute detergent solution. The area should
then be cleaned with distilled water. This method works on the oven interior, drip pan, the rotisserie, and rocker platform. Bottles and
caps may also be soaked in a dilute decontaminating detergent and then rinsed in distilled water.
11.0 Troubleshooting Guide
Problem
Oven will not power On or will not heat
Rotisserie will not turn On
Rotisserie speed is erratic/jumps
Rocker platform will not operate
Temperature is too high
Chamber temperature goes above set and
settles back to setpoint
Temperature will not remain stable or the
display shows "LO"
Indicated temperature is unstable
Temperature is too low
Unit will not heat above temperature that
is below setpoint
Temperature display and reference
thermometer do not match
Cannot adjust setpoint or calibration
Unit calibrated at one temperature but not
at another
Should you have a question about the operation of the Labnet ProBlot™ hybridization oven or if service is required, contact Corning
Customer Service. Do not send in a unit for service without first calling to obtain a repair authorization number. Should the unit
require return for service, it should be properly packed to avoid damage. Any damage resulting from improper packaging shall be the
responsibility of the user.

Solution
Check power cord, outlet, and unit circuit breaker.
Check rotisserie On/Off switch and speed setting.
Check for balanced load on rotisserie. Even number of bottles loaded in opposing
positions.
Check if the timer is set to Run or a time setting. Check that nothing is blocking the
rocker platform sides.
Check setpoint and readjust, if necessary.
Check calibration.
Normal operation in initial heat up or if point door is opened for a long period.
Check that setpoint is at least 5°C above ambient, which is minimum set and
operating point.
A slight variation of ±0.1°C is normal. Larger fluctuations may be ambient variations
from drafts, door opening and closing, a fan obstruction or failure, or electrical noise
from RFI (motors, etc.).
If door was opened, the unit may not have recovered yet. Confirm temperature setpoint.
Confirm setpoint. Check the temperature of the chamber with a thermometer, and
recalibrate if needed.
Be sure the unit has been allowed to stabilize for 1 hour. Thermometer should be
suspended in the rotating bottle and not touching the bottle surface. Only certified
reference thermometers should be used.
Turn the unit Off for 5 seconds to reset. If problem persists, call Corning Customer Service.
This can be a normal condition if temperatures or load vary widely. For best accuracy,
calibrate at setpoint.
