1. Specifications
Analogue Incubator 10l is a compact general-purpose convection incubator capable of
uniformly heating samples up to a maximum of 60 °C. The unit comes with a movable shelf
and has a door window area, so samples can be observed without opening the door, thus
preventing heat loss.
Temperature range: Ambient +5 °C to 60 °C
Controls: Analogue - hydraulic
Unit size W x D x H: 28.5 x 28 x 33.5 cm
Chamber W x D x H: 23 x 22 x 20 cm
Unit weight: 8.3 kg
Electrical: 230 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.3 A or 115 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.6 A
Fuses: 2 x 0.5 AT (230 V) or 2 x 1 AT (115 V)
2. Unpacking
Carefully inspect the unit and accessories upon receipt for any damage that may have
occurred during shipping. Severe damage to the packaging container may indicate damage
to the unit. If you suspect damage to the unit, immediately file a claim with the carrier in
accordance with their instructions before contacting your distributor. Also verify that all
accessories are included, and that the unit is in good working order, before discarding the
shipping packaging.
Analogue Incubator 10l is shipped with the following:
•Stainless steel shelf
•Thermometer
•Power cord
3. Installation
Your satisfaction and safety require a complete understanding of this unit.
Read the instructions thoroughly and be sure all operators are given adequate
training before attempting to put the unit in use.
NOTE: This equipment must be used only for its intended application; any alterations
or modifications will void your warranty and may cause injury.
3.1 Power Source
Check the data plate for voltage, cycle, wattage and ampere requirements. If matched to
your power source, plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. Voltage should not vary more
than 10% from the data plate rating.

3.2 Location
In selecting a location, consider all conditions which might affect performance, such as heat
from radiators, autoclaves, etc. Avoid direct sun, fast-moving air currents, heating/cooling
ducts and high traffic areas. Allow a minimum of 5 cm between the unit and walls or
partitions which might obstruct free airflow.
4. Control panel
4.1 Power Switch
The main power switch is on the front panel and controls all power to the unit. The switch will
light up when the unit is energized.
4.2 Heating Lamp
This light is ON when the unit is heating. When the unit has reached the set temperature, the
light will be on only when the unit is heating to maintain the temperature.
4.3 Temperature Control Knob
This control knob is marked with temperature symbol. It controls the incubator chamber
temperature on a scale from 0 to 10.
5. Operation
Do not use this incubator in explosive or flammable environments. Do not heat
or incubate flammable, explosive or highly reactive materials in this incubator
as serious injury may result.
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, with the shelf edges up. If you intend to place the
samples on the bottom of the chamber, install the shelf so that it sits with the 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 that
will come down from the top of the chamber.
Gently insert the thermometer into the rubberized hole on the top of the incubator. Avoid
inserting or removing the thermometer too quickly; this can dislodge the rubber grommet that
is 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.
Turn the power switch to the ON position. The switch should illuminate.
Set the temperature control knob to 10. When the thermometer reaches the desired
operating temperature, turn the temperature control knob down, until the heating lamp turns
off. Wait for the temperature to stabilize. Make fine adjustments up or down as required, until
the desired operating temperature is obtained. Allow the unit to stabilize after each
adjustment. Temperature stability is obtained, when the heating lamp is turning on and off
automatically, and the temperature remains constant.
6. Cleaning and Maintenance
Prior to any cleaning or maintenance of the unit, disconnect the power cord
from the wall outlet.
No routine maintenance is required on the unit.
Clean the unit internally and externally with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not immerse the
unit or spill liquids into or on the unit. Use of alcohol or ammonia-based cleaners on the
window may cause it to crack.
Allow the incubator to dry completely inside and outside, before reconnecting the power and
using it again.
7. Troubleshooting and Service
If the unit fails to operate, make sure that it is plugged into a properly grounded working wall
outlet. Check that the unit is switched on, the power switch is illuminated, and that the
temperature control knob is turned up. If necessary, check the fuses.
If the problem persists, contact your distributor.
