3.Safety precautions
Read the manual thoroughly before operation.
This product is for indoor useonly.
The operator should not open or attempt to repair the
instrument, which will result in loss of repair guarantee or
could cause an accident. If there is an issue with the
instrument, contact Hygiena.
The instrument should be operated in an environment with
low temperature, little dust, no water and away from the sun
or heat lamp. The area should have good airflow, no
corrosive gas or a strong disturbing magnetic field. It should
be far away from central heating, camp stoves and any
other heat resource.
The power switch is on the rear of the device, push “I” to
power ON the device, and push “O”to power OFF the
device.
The power connector is on the rear of the device, DC12V
input, inside is “+”, outside is “-”.
Power OFF when not in use.
For extended non-use, remove the connector plug and
cover incubator to shield from dust.

4. Operation guide
4.1 Control keys:
START/STOP ............... start or stop the procedure
Prog. ......................... select various programs
 .......................... for setting temperature and time
............................... move the cursor
4.2 Create a new program
Press the “Prog.” key to select various programs, from P1 to P9.
For example, select P8, then press the key to move the cursor,
press the  keys to set a new value.
Users can set two temperatures and times for each program. The
single symbol, is the first temperature and time, the double
symbol is the second temperature and time.
Press the key to all the way to the right end of the display screen
to toggle between first and second temperature and times.
In 8 seconds, the cursor will disappear exiting the setting interface.
See the example diagram below:

4.3 Select minute or second as unit of time for timer
The timer unit of time can be set to either minute or second. To set
the unit of time, press the key to enter setting interface, release,
then hold the key for 2seconds. Press the  to select min. or

4.4 Run and stop a program
4.4.1 Press the “Prog.” key to select the program.
The instrument starts to heat automatically according to the
previously set temperature.
4.4.2 It shows “NOTOK” on the display as it is heating up. When the
target temperature is reached, the display screen shows “OK.”
Then press the START/STOP key torun the timer.
* NOTE: When the first timing at the first temperature is complete,
the second temperature automaticallybegins.

4.4.5 Press the “START/STOP” key for 1 second to stop the program.
4.5 Temperature calibration
The temperature of the instrument has been calibrated at the
factory. If there is deviation between the actual temperature
and the displayed temperature, the calibration steps in
section 4.5.1 may be followed. The Instrument uses double
temperatures adjustment to ensure its accuracy. This means it is
linearly calibrated on 40 ℃and 80 ℃(two points). The
temperature veracity will be within ±0.5 ℃after the double
temperature adjustment. The ambient temperature should be
lower than 35 ℃when starting temperature calibration.

4.5.1 Calibration
After the instrument is powered on, it will enter standby mode.
Make sure both the ambient temperature in the room and the
temperature displayed on the instrument are below 35 ℃. If the
temperature is higher than 35 ℃, wait until the temperature is below
35 ℃. In this example, an ambient and set program display
temperature of 20.5 ℃ is used.
4.5.2 Inject olefin oil (mineral oil) into one of the cone-shaped wells, and
then put a thermometer into the well. The precision of the
thermometer should be within 0.1 ℃and the temperature ball
should be completely immerged into the cone-shaped well,
incubate for 20 min. See Fig. a.
Let the instrument sit for 20 min at the set temperature.

4.5.3 After 20 min., Press the and keys
simultaneously, the display temperature (in this
example) will show 20.5 ℃, and then begin to rise
to 40.0 ℃automatically. During this time, the *
sign will flicker. When the display temperature
reaches 40.0 ℃, the signs ADJ and *will flicker
together. Let the instrument incubate at 40.0 ℃
for 20 min.
4.5.4 After 20 min, the thermometer temperature can
be matched with the display temperature. Read
the actual temperature of the thermometer (in this
example) it is 38.8 ℃. Press the and keys to
amend the display temperature value to 38.8 ℃,
and then press the “start” key to confirm.
4.5.5 At this point the incubator temperature will begin
to rise automatically until it reaches 80.0℃,
the * sign on the display willflicker. When the
display temperaturereaches 80.0℃, the signs
ADJ and *will flicker together. Let instrument
Incubate at 80℃, for 20 min.

4.5.6 After 20 min, the thermometer temperature
can be matched with the display
temperature. Read the actual temperature
of the thermometer (in this example) it is
79.0℃. Press the or key to amend the
display value to 79.0, then press the“start”
key to confirm.
4.5.7 The screen will return tothe display as
seen to theright.
After temperature calibration, the
temperature displayed is now the same as
the temperature of the block.
4.5.8. Canceling Calibration
During temperature calibration, press and key simultaneously
to cancel the calibration. If canceled, the system will keep the
former calibration.
