Intended use

///

Use

The device is suitable for heating / shaking of non-explosive, non

-flammable or harmless

substance and objects� It is also suitable for drying e�g� glassware or warm storing

of liquids in

container�

Due to the highly precise temperature control, the device is especially suitable for incubation of

cultures at a standard temperature of 37 °C�

Note: The device must only be used for heating up non-explosive and non-flammable

substances and objects� Do not process substances or objects that might cause explosive vapour�

The device is not classiﬁed as a medical device as deﬁned by Medical Device Directive�

/// Range of use

Indoor environments similar to that a laboratory of research, teaching, trade or industry�

The safety of the user cannot be guaranteed:

›

if the device is operated with accessories that are not supplied or recommended by the

manufacturer�

›

if the device is operated improperly or contrary to the manufacture’s speciﬁcations�

›

if the device or the printed circuit board are modiﬁed by third parties�

/// Power supply / switching off the device

› The voltage stated on the type plate must correspond to the power voltage�

› The device can only be disconnected from the power supply by pulling out the power plug

or the connector plug�

› The device must only be operated with the original power cord set�

› The socket for the power cord must be easily accessible�

› Socket must be earthed (protective ground contact)�

› After a power failure during operation, the device may start automatically (depending on

operating mode)�

› Disconnect the power plug before cleaning, maintenance and transportation of the device�

/// Accessories

Caution!

› Use the locking brake when using the roller frame or roller box�

› Protect the device and accessories from bumping and impacting�

› Check the device and accessories beforehand for damage each time when you use them�

Do not use damaged components�

› Safe operation is only guaranteed with the accessories described in the ”Accessories” section�

› Only use IKA approved accessories�

› Use only original IKA spare parts�

!Notice!

› Covers or parts that can be removed from the device without tools must later be reﬁtted to

ensure safe operation� This will prevent the inﬁltration of foreign objects, liquids and other

contaminants�

› Never use the device for:

- heating food

- drying living beings

- heating room

› Pay attention to the vessels on the shaker platform when setting the shaking speed� This

will prevent any of the medium to be shaken from spurting out of the sample vessels�

› If the shaking vessels break during operation or the media be spilt, interrupt the shaking

process immediately, remove any vessel residue and clean the device�

› All accessories and vessels in place for the shaking process must be ﬁrmly secured�

› Shaking vessels which are not properly secured could get damaged or be projected out� It

is essential to regularly check that the vessels to be shaken and the attachments are ﬁrmly

secured, especially before using the device again�

› Avoid allowing objects to push or strike the shaker platform�

Useful information

/// Material

The inner chamber of the device is made of high quality stainless steel� The window on the door

is made of tempered glass�

Note: Do not heat substances containing acids and halogenoids with this device!

/// Air ﬂow

In recirculation mode, the fan gently and evenly distributes the temperature in the incubator�

The supply air coming from outside is guided through the vents into the inner chamber and

preheated in the working chamber�

/// Temperature monitoring

The device has a temperature limiter (TB) class 1 according DIN 12880� This means that in case

of a single failure the device is switched off at 150 °C� The temperature may be higher for a

short time in the area of the heater and on the walls� So beware of risk of ﬁre or explosion of

unsuitable load�

Note: Any component of the heating / drying material must not be able to release toxic gases�

/// Calibration and adjustment

Individual load and ambient condition might inﬂuence the temperature behaviour of the

chamber� To compensate that inﬂuence there’s the option to neutralize by using the 3-point

calibration and offset function� This function allows the temperature to be calibrated and

adjusted at three different temperature values�

Use a calibrated reference meas

uring device in case of adjustment�

The operation can be done at a single, or up to three temperature levels:

Point 1: Temperature calibration and adjustment at low value of temperature�

Point 2: Temperature calibration and adjustment at medium value of temperature�

Point 3: Temperature calibration and adjustment at high value of temperature�

This menu shows how the values can be entered after the respective temperatures are

approached and with an external measuring device cross-checked (calibrated)�
