3. Unpacking
Before starting the installation, carefully examine the incubator.
◗ Open the box and carefully remove the padding. Check that the incubator
has not been visibly damaged during transportation. Keep the packing
material until you are sure that the incubator works properly.
◗ Carefully lift the device out of the box.
◗ Be sure that the following information is included on the serial label
located on the back of the unit: serial number, catalog number, electrical
rating.
◗ Check that the power cord plug has a pin configuration that matches a
wall socket according to the local standard.
Should any kind of damage have occurred during transportation, contact
the carrier immediately. The carrier is responsible for shipping damage.
4. Installation
Place the incubator on a horizontal, level and stable surface. Connect the
plug end of the cord to a grounded wall socket.
Avoid lines on which powerful electric motors, refrigerators, and similar
devices are connected. Use the On/Off switch to control power to the
incubator.
Use caution when plugging into a grounded wall socket. Do not
touch plug with wet hands. Do not unplug by pulling on the cord.

5. Technical Specifications
The Corning® LSE™ Mini Incubator is a compact general purpose convection
incubator capable of uniformly heating samples up to a maximum of
70°C. The unit comes with a movable shelf and has a door window area, so
samples can be observed without opening the door causing heat loss.
6. Symbols and Conventions
The following chart is an illustrated glossary of the symbols that are used in
this manual.
This symbol indicates a potential risk and alerts you to proceed
with caution.
This symbol indicates the presence of high voltage and warns the
user to proceed with caution.
Be careful if the unit has been used to heat samples because the
internal components can be extremely hot and can cause burns
to uncovered skin. Always check the handle temperature before
changing the platform.

9. Getting Started
Place the unit on a level surface and plug the unit into a properly grounded
outlet of appropriate voltage.
Install the shelf at the desired height, shelf edges down. If you intend to
place samples on the bottom of the chamber, install the shelf so that it sits
edges down on the chamber bottom, thus creating an air gap between the
chamber bottom and your samples. When installing your shelf, remember
to leave clearance for the thermometer bulb which will come down from
the roof of the chamber.
Gently insert the thermometer (supplied separately) into the hole in the top
of the incubator. Inserting or removing the thermometer too quickly can
dislodge the rubber grommet used to hold the thermometer. For maximum
accuracy, insert the thermometer to a point where the thermometer
immersion line is just inside the incubator chamber.
10. Operation
Push the power switch to the ON position. The switch will illuminate.
Set the temperature controller to 10. When the thermometer reaches
the desired operating temperature, turn the control down until the
heating light turns off. Wait for the temperature to stabilize. Make
small adjustments up and down as required until the desired operating
temperature is obtained. Allow the unit to stabilize between each
adjustment. Temperature stability is obtained when the heating lamp is
going on and off automatically and the temperature remains constant.

Optional: The oven has a port in the back for the unit for passing a power
cord out of the rear of the unit. This is for powering a small piece of
equipment (shaker, etc.) in the incubation chamber. To pass a cord through,
rotate the inner and outer doors up to reveal the pass through. Then slide
the end of the power cord through the port. Then close both doors, resting
the cord in the notch.

12. Maintenance and Cleaning
No routine maintenance is required.
The outside housing can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth when needed.

This may permanently damage the rotator finish.
Before cleaning the incubator, always unplug the power cord from the
wall socket.
