Store and transport the unit in a horizontal position (see package label).
After transportation or storage and before connecting to electric circuit, keep the unit
under room temperature for 2-3 h.
Before using any cleaning or decontamination methods except those recommended
by the manufacturer, check with the manufacturer that the proposed method will not
damage the equipment.
Do not make modifications in design of the unit.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Connect only to electric circuit with voltage corresponding to that on the serial number
label.
Do not plug the unit into an ungrounded power socket, and do not use an ungrounded
extension lead.
Ensure that the power switch and plug are easily accessible during use.
Disconnect the unit from the electric circuit before moving.
Disconnect the plug from power socket to turn off the unit.
If liquid penetrates into the unit, disconnect it from the electric circuit and have it

2. General Information
ES-20/60 Orbital Shaker-incubator for biotechnological and pharmaceutical labor-
atories is a professional category equipment designed for cultivation of micro organisms cells
and eukaryotic cells, including animal, plant and insect cells. Shaker is equipped with a di-
rect-drive mechanism for platform motion. It provides reliable and stable operation for the
long term experiments needed for cell cultivation.
ES-20/60 Orbital Shaker-incubator provides smooth (or intensive) mixing in flasks
installed on the platform. Built-in thermoresistant brushless fan provides precise temperature
distribution inside the chamber (from 10°C above ambient up to +80°C). The inner chamber
is made of stainless steel. State-of-the-art motor, newest thermal insulation materials used,
program provided soft start of the platform motion and temperature regulation PID-control
decrease the energy consumption and make the shaker-incubator highly energy efficient
despite its relatively large size.
