temperature to a room with a higher temperature,
wait until the device has reached the ambient
temperature.
It is forbidden to make repair when the device is in
operation
It is forbidden to remove the shields while the device
is in operation.
2. Device characteristics
The Incubator has been equipped with an advanced
IC-01 controller which supervises the internal
temperature and humidity. It controls the air flow,
filling an internal tank with water. It is made of
stainless steel with insulated walls.
