Safety Notes
Basic Operating Precautions
These operating instructions describe Fisher Scientific incubators.
Fisher Scientific incubators have been manufactured to the latest state of the art and have been
tested thoroughl for flawless functioning prior to shipping. However, the incubator ma
present potential hazards, particularl if it is operated b inadequatel trained personnel or if it
is not used in accordance with the intended purpose. Therefore, the following must be
observed for the sake of accident prevention:
• Never step into the unit.
• Fisher Scientific incubators must be operated b adequatel trained and authorized
professional personnel.
• Fisher Scientific incubators must not be operated unless these operating instructions have
been full read and understood.
• The present operating instructions, applicable safet data sheets, plant h giene guidelines
and the corresponding technical rules issued b the operator shall be used to create written
procedures targeted at personnel working with the subject matter device, detailing:
• the decontamination measures to be emplo ed for the incubator and the accessories
used with it,
• the safet precautions to be taken when processing specific agents,
• the measures to be taken in case of accidents.
• Repair work on the incubator must be carried out onl b trained and authorized expert
personnel.
• The contents of these operating instructions are subject to change at an time without
further notice.
• Concerning translations into foreign languages, the German version of these operating
instructions is binding.

important information are alwa s accessible.
• Should ou encounter problems that are not detailed adequatel in these operating
instructions, please contact Fisher Scientific International, LLC immediatel for our own
safet .

Safety Notes
Operational Safety Rules
1-2 Gravity Convection Incubators Fisher Scientific
Operational Safety Rules
The following rules must be heeded when working with Fisher Scientific incubators:
• Observe the sample weight limits specified for our Fisher Scientific incubator as a whole
and its shelving in particular; see “Technical Data” on page 13-1.
• Do not load the bottom of the interior workspace to avoid the risk of overheating an
samples placed there and to prevent the temperature sensor from being damaged.
• Arrange the samples evenl throughout the work space, making sure not to place them too
closel to the interior walls to ensure a uniform temperature distribution.
• Do not load our Fisher Scientific incubator with substances that exceed the capabilities of
the available lab apparatus and Personal Protection Equipment to provide sufficient
degrees of protection to users and third parties.
• Check the door seal ever six months for proper sealing performance and possible damage.
• Do not process an samples containing hazardous chemical substances that ma be
released into the ambient air through defective seals or ma cause corrosion or other
defects on parts of the Fisher Scientific incubator.
Warranty
Fisher Scientific International, LLC warrants the operational safet and functions of the Fisher
Scientific incubators onl under the condition that:
• the incubator is operated and serviced exclusivel in accordance with its intended purpose
and as described in these operating instructions,
• the incubator is not modified,
• onl original spare parts and accessories that have been approved b Fisher Scientifi care
used (third-part spares without Fisher Scientific International, LLC approval void the
limited warrant ),
• inspections and maintenance are performed at the specified intervals,
• an operation verification test is performed after each repair activit .
The warrant is valid from the date of deliver of the incubator to the customer.
