Peltier-cooled CO2 Incubator 1. Safety and general precaution 1.1. General information on precaution Precaution is to prevent the possible accident or danger during operation. So, you must keep it. Precaution is divided into caution and warning. And, each of them has following meanings. If you don't keep this warning, you can get an accident or a fire.
Operating Manual 1.3. Precaution for using the power cable Do not make the power plug be pressed by back of the product. (A space between the product and the plug must be 30cm at least. The power outlet must be only for this product. (Using various products simultaneously can cause a fire) Clean the power plug with a dry towel and connect it properly.
Peltier-cooled CO2 Incubator 1.5. Precaution for use You must not disassemble, fix and remodel the product by yourself. (You can damage the product throughout a fire and malfunction or get a property loss as well as experimental loss. Do not use the product for different purpose. (It can cause malfunction or poor function.
Operating Manual 2. Transportation, storage and location of installation 2.1. Transportation DO NOT try to slide or tilt the unit Lift the unit at its four lower corners with the aid of 2 people. (Weight: 35kg) Permissible ambient temperature range for transport: -10℃ to 60℃. 2.2.
Peltier-cooled CO2 Incubator 2.3. Location of installation and ambient conditions Do not put inflammable substances near the product. (It can cause a fire) When you install the product, you have to put the distance of at least 30cm from the wall. To completely separate the unit from the power supply, power plug must be disconnected.
When you have received the instrument which is packed on pallet, inspect the box carefully for any damages that may have caused any damages to product during shipping. Please report any damage to the carrier or to your local WIGGENS distributor immediately. LOCATION The incubator is designed to operate at temperature 5℃...

Operating Manual 6. Operation Before Switch ON, insert water tray filling with distilled water (If necessary). Make sure connection of gas supply. And Open CO2 gas cylinder or supply with the pressure of regulator set to 4.5~7.25Psi or 0.3~0.5 bar. 6.1.
Peltier-cooled CO2 Incubator 6.4. Calibration of temperature & CO Please follow up the procedure for calibration below in case of discrepancy between actual value (measured by reliable thermometer or device) in chamber and displayed value. Conduct the analysis of CO density and Temperature when incubator has been stabilized for more than 2 hours.
Operating Manual Push UP (▲) and DOWN (▼) to adjust CO % display. Before release of CO incubator from WIGGENS factory, CO density is calibrated optimizing at 5%. When using different density ofCO rather than 5%, this calibration is highly recommendable.
Peltier-cooled CO2 Incubator 6.7. Hot Air Sterilization (only for the Sterilization model) When CO incubators are used in contamination hazardous areas, hot air sterilization can be used as an additional means of cleaning the inside of the chamber. Hot Air Decontamination uses 6 side direct heating up to 125°C. This makes chamber decontaminated destroying bacteria and germ.

When UV lighting with cover, expose of UV light to chamber is very little. However, it is not guaranteed that cell is not damaged in this situation. WIGGENS recommend avoid cell culture when UV light is on even with cover.
Peltier-cooled CO2 Incubator 2. Carefully put ceiling down and pull it out from two hooks (in red circle) at back. See below. Pull it out to direction as arrows are directed. After that UV light expose to more surface of chamber but, not completely entire chamber due to shelves.
Operating Manual 9.3. Peltier cooled model For processes that require low temperatures, the equipment can be fitted with peltier cooling unit. The equipment can be equipped with an internal cooling unit that is an autonomous system. The cooling unit is located at the rear of the incubator with its own fan.
