1. INTENDED USE AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE USER
CL laboratory incubators, SL drying ovens, SR laboratory sterilizers are laboratory devices designed for incubation,
drying and sterilization with hot air of samples at following temperature ranges:
•laboratory incubators CL: 5C above ambient temperature … +100C
•drying ovens SL: 5C above ambient temperature … +300C
•laboratory sterilizers SR: 5C above ambient temperature … +250C
•pass-through laboratory sterilizers SRWP: 5C above ambient temperature … +250C
•drying ovens with nitrogen or other inert gas blow: 5C above ambient temperature … +250C
Laboratory incubators, drying ovens and laboratory sterilizers have an electric heating system. All devices are
controlled by a precise SMART controller, thanks to which the set temperature is maintained with good fluctuation and
variation. The devices are available in the following versions:
•with natural (N) air convection: models CLN, SLN, SRN
•forced (W) air convection: models CLW, SLW, SLWN, SRW (in the chamber there is one or more fans,
depending on unit’s capacity, which force air movement –for devices with forced air circulation, the symbol
appears on the screen.
Drying ovens with nitrogen flow, SLWN1 and SLWN2 models are used, among others, for the determination of total
moisture in hard coal according to the PN-ISO 589:2006 norm which requires that coal samples susceptible to oxida-
tion should be dried at a temperature of + 105°C in a drying oven with a nitrogen flow.
Requirements for the use of the equipment are given in point 6 of the norm. A drying oven with nitrogen flow should be
used to control the temperature in the range of + 105°C to + 110°C with the additional possibility of blowing with a
stream of dry nitrogen at a flow rate of about 15 volumes of the drying oven per hour. For detailed information on the
available models and equipment, see Section 9.
The meaning of information symbols
This symbol means that failure to follow the instructions could endanger people's health or life, or
damage the device. The manufacturer is not liable for damages resulting from non-compliance with
the instructions contained in the manual.
Applies to SL and SR: when operating at high temperatures (over 200°C), the door and the unit
housing may be hot.
This symbol indicates helpful tips.
To guarantee your security and the longevity of the unit, please comply with the following rules:
1.
The unit cannot be installed:
•outside,
•in damp places or places which can be easily flooded,
•near flammable or volatile substances,
•near acids or in corrosive environments.
2.
It is forbidden to:
•store inflammable or volatile substances inside the unit –equipment is not made in an explosion-proof
version,
•touch live parts of the unit,
•operate the unit with wet hands,
•put water vessels on the unit,
•climb on the unit,

Instruction manual CL, SL, SLWN, SR, SRWP SMART
7
•overload the shelves (the maximum load is described in technical data).
3.
You should:
•place samples in such a way to provide proper air circulation in the chamber,
•open the door for the shortest period of time to reduce temperature fluctuations,
•secure samples from being blown out by the chamber fan e.g powdery samples,
•always check that the doors are closed correctly,
•use only mains with earth to avoid electric shocks,
•unplug the power cable holding the protective cover and not the cable itself,
•disconnect the unit from the mains before undertaking any repairs or maintenance work (in order to not
lose the warranty during its duration, all repairs should be carried out by an authorized service),
•protect the power cable and the plug from any damage,
•disconnect the power plug before moving the unit,
•disconnect the power plug if the device will not be used for a long period of time,
•disconnect the unit and protect it from reconnecting if it has any visual fault.
Failure to comply with the above recommendations may result in damage to the device or deterioration of
technical parameters, as well as loss of warranty.

3. BEFORE THE FIRST USE
The manufacturer sends the device protected by cardboard profiles and foil. The device should be transported in an
upright position and the package should be secured against sliding during transport.
After transporting the device at a temperature below 10°С, wait at least 2 hours before connecting it
to the mains.
On the surface of unit’s components made of stainless steel, slight discoloration may occur. It is a result of the
technologies used in the production of metal sheet in accordance with the requirements of PN-EN 10088-2 standard
and it is not a defect of the unit.
In SL drying ovens, SR sterilizers and CL laboratory incubators there’s a ventilation air-flap at the
back of the device. Hot air comes out of the air-flap during operation of the device. The
manufacturer recommends using a non-flammable insulation screen on the wall or increasing the
distance from the wall. Failure to do so may result in permanent damage to the wall, and in extreme
cases even a fire.
Applies to drying ovens (SL, SLWN) and sterilizers (SR, SRWP). Before first boot, it is recommended
to turn on the device for 3 hours at the set temperature of 250°C. There might be a specific smell
coming out from the interior of the chamber and this is not a malfunction.
The place of installation of the unit should meet the following conditions:
•ambient temperature +10°C...+28°C,
•recommended relative humidity of the ambient air up to 60%,
•the unit has not been designed to work in highly dusty environments,
•ensure proper ventilation in the room,
•the device should be placed on a hard and stable surface,
•the unit should be placed at least 100mm away from the walls,
•the height of the room must be at least 300mm greater than the height of the unit,
•the unit is not designed to be built-in,
•the place of installation of the device should be equipped with a socket with parameters suitable for the
device.
After receiving the device, visually assess its condition and equipment in the presence of the
person delivering the goods. A courier company is responsible for any damage caused during
transport.

Instruction manual CL, SL, SLWN, SR, SRWP SMART

If you don’t comply with the above recommendations, the unit may get broken or it may worsen the technical
parameters such as:
•temperature fluctuation,
•temperature variation,
•power consumption
and may result in loss of warranty.
Wheels / leveling feet
If the device has been equipped with wheels or leveling feet:
•in the case of wheels after placing the unit at its destination, secure the device against
movement by locking the wheels
•in the case of feet, after placing the device in the destination, they should be leveled.
If the device is equipped with wheels, they must be locked and leveled. For this purpose
use the red knob mounted in the wheel housing. At the beginning, the knob can be
turned by hand, if it encounters resistance, use a 13 size wrench.
If the device is to be placed on a table (option) or base (option) which is equipped with the wheels with a lock, the
wheels MUST be locked after placing the table / base in its final destination.
Electric installation
Power supply of the equipment is indicated on a rating plate on the unit. Connect the device to a
socket with ground in order to avoid electric shocks in case of the unit’s failure.
The installation should be protected by a 16A slow-blow fuse and equipped with a residual current device.
Leveling wheels are ONLY for positioning the device at its destination. They can not be used to
transport the device!

3.1. Installation of shelves
To install the shelf or to change its position, follow these steps:
Install the shelf slide at the selected height by inserting it into perforations on the wall of the device. Do the same with
the slide on the opposite wall.
Slide the shelf into the installed shelf slides. Now, the shelf is correctly installed!
To remove a shelf, perform the above steps in reverse order.
3.2. Remarks on the placement of samples
To provide proper air circulation and stable conditions in which the samples are stored in the chamber, it is necessary
to keep the following rules:
•the max height of the samples should not exceed 1/3 of the space between the shelves,
•approx. 1/3 of the width and depth of the shelf should remain empty, while the distances between the
samples, as well as between the samples and the wall should be approximately equal.
The picture below is an example of the placement of samples in the chamber.
