3.0 INTRODUCTION
This manual covers the specifications, operation, and use of the Corning®71L shaking incubator
and its accessories. Please pay special attention to the Safety Precautions section in this manual.
The 71L shaking incubator provides an extremely stable temperature environment and an
aggressive shaking motion for the mixing of materials for bacteria and cell culture growth at ambient
and above ambient temperatures.
The 71L shaking incubator uses microprocessor controls and mechanical convection to maintain a
stable temperature environment and to achieve fast chamber temperature recovery after a door
opening. The incubator interior is constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and easy
clean-up of accidental spills. All incubator doors have an integral glass window and the incubator
has a light to allow observation of samples without opening the door. Each door is fully thermal
gasketed.
The 71L shaking incubator comes with one removable full shelf and four large, rubber-padded
adjustable feet for leveling the unit. Additional half and full shelves may be purchased. The 71L
shaking mechanism supports a wide range of optional rack and flask platforms which are user
changeable.

5.0 UNPACKING
Upon receipt of your Corning®71L shaking incubator, examine the carton and unit for damage. If
shipping damage has occurred, a claim must be filed with the carrier. The carrier is responsible for
correcting shipping damages. Save all packaging until the unit has been shown to operate properly
to your satisfaction. Carefully remove the unit from the carton and shipping pallet.
The package should include:
•71L Corning Shaking Incubator Instruction Manual
•Power cord (EU and UK cords in 230V)
•1 full shelf
•2 shelf brackets
•4 adjustable feet
6.0 INSTALLATION
Install the four adjustable feet and locate the shaking incubator on a stable, flat, very solid surface
near a grounded electrical outlet. The location selected should be out of direct sunlight and away
from heat-producing sources or hot or cold air drafts. At least 5 cm ventilation clearance is required
around all sides of the incubator. Level the incubator using the four adjustable feet. Clockwise
rotation of a foot raises the incubator. Plug in the unit to a properly rated and grounded electrical
outlet and the unit will be ready for use. Install the optional platform you have selected by plugging
in the four bottom protrusions. Larger flask platforms may require being screw clamped to the
shaking mechanism.
When installing the optional shelf, it is important to note that for sufficient clearance under the shelf,
the largest flask size that can be used is the 1L flask. The shelf will also limit illumination from the
chamber and may be prone to rattle under aggressive shaking.
7.0 CONTROLS AND CALIBRATION
The controls for the 71L shaker incubator include power to the oven, temperature setting, safety
temperature overshoot setting, shaker speed, and shaking time. In addition there is a door-open
shaker shut-off switch and a chamber light switch.
Main Power Switch:This switch (illuminated GREEN when on) turns the power to the unit ON or
OFF.
