LOCATION AND INSTALLATION
Your i ncubator will give best results in a heatedroom
free from wide temperature variations a nd with
generous venti lation –pa rticularly if several
incubators are running at the s ame time.
Ensure that the room temperature cannot drop on a
col d night. Ideally thermostatically control the room
at between 20 and 25°C (68 a nd 77°F). Never allow
the room temperature to drop below 15°C (59°F).
Make s ure that the i ncubator cannot be exposed to
di rect sunlight and is used on a flat, level s urfaced
worktop or table, not on the floor. Please ensure the
incubator is used on a water resistant surface.
Connect the mains ca ble to the incubator l id. Ensure
the connector is pushed fully home in its socket.
