Leveling: The unit must sit level and solidly. Turn the leveling feet counterclockwise to raise level. If the unit must be moved, turn the leveling screws in all the way to prevent bending of the feet. Cleaning: The incubator interior was cleaned at the factory, but not sterilized.
Section CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW ( SEE FIGURE 1 ) Power Switch: The main power I/O (on/off) switch controls all power to the unit and must be in the I/ON position before any systems are operational. Main Temperature Control: The Main Temperature Control consists of the digital display and UP and DOWN arrow pads for inputting set point temperatures and calibration.
Section OPERATION Check power supply against unit serial plate. They must match. Plug service cord into the grounded electrical outlet. The power switch must be in the I/On position before the unit will operate (this includes both chambers on the 207). Turn the High Limit thermostat to its maximum position (clockwise).

Set High Limit Thermostat: As mentioned in step 4.4, the High Limit Thermostat should be initially set to its maximum position, to allow the unit to stabilize. Once the incubator is stabile at the desired set point, turn the High Limit Thermostat counterclockwise until the HIGH LIMIT light turns on. Next, turn the Thermostat clockwise just until the light turns off.
Section MAINTENANCE ATTENTION: Your refrigerator is equipped with a special Thermostat Control Device (PTC). If the unit is turned off or unplugged, YOU MUST ALLOW THREE (3) MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING OR REPLUGGING THE UNIT. The unit will not start if you attempt it in less than three (3) minutes. Note: Prior to performing maintenance and or service on this incubator, disconnect the unit from the power supply.

freezing compartment whenever the layer of ice/frost on the wall of the freezing compartment reaches a quarter inch thick. For defrosting, remove everything from the freezing compartment and put drip tray in place. To start defrosting, set the cold control knob at the “OFF” position.
Section TROUBLESHOOTING FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER BEFORE SERVICING. Always make a visual inspection of the incubator and control console when troubleshooting to find loose or disconnected wires which may be the source of the trouble.
