Maintenance / Control Calibration / Cleaning Procedures
To clean interior and exterior surfaces, use a damp cloth with or without an all-purpose cleaner. Avoid commercially available
oven cleaners. The acrylic door should only be cleaned using a lint-free cloth, with or without water. Paper towels can mar the
surface of the acrylic door. Use of any commercial cleansers on the acrylic door will cause crazing and cracking of the surface
of the acrylic over time. Periodically, check the accuracy of the control's temperature display against a known accurate or
calibrated device. This should be done with an empty chamber after the set temperature becomes steady (typically after 45 - 60
minutes). Calibrate the control in the control's function menu, level 3 (see page 3).
• If liquid is spilled inside the unit, disconnect it from the power supply and have it checked by a competent person.
• It is the user’s responsability to carry out the appropriate decontamination if hazardous material is spilled on or inside the unit.
• It is the user’s responsability not to use decontamination or cleaning agents that could cause a hazard as a result of a reaction
with parts of the equipment or with material contained in it.
If unsure of the compatibility of decontamination or cleaning agents consult the manufacturer.

Leave a space between articles on a shelf to allow the unit's horizontal air flow
to circulate around each article. (FIG. 3)
Don't block the return air port located at the back of the lower plenum/shelf.
Avoid extremely large (in quantity or size) or high-density loads. This will show
by non-uniform processing and long or impossible "heat-through" times. To help
determine a large load's suitability, use the set-point recovery time (the time it
takes for the temperature to recover to the original set temperature once load is
placed), as a guide. To reduce recovery time, reduce load proportionally. When
possible, measure large loads or solution temperatures directly with an ancillary
thermometer or probe. Probes can be inserted at top port.
Article processing times and temperature uniformity are largely dependent on
load density and positioning. Load the incubator so that air circulation within the
incubator is not impaired. Here are some general guidelines:

Set-up & Installation
Read Operating Instructions Thoroughly Prior to Operation
Safety Precautions
Read Operating Instructions thoroughly prior to operation and observe the following safety precautions:
• Use only a grounded outlet that is rated for your model's electrical requirement.
• Do not modify the oven or factory control settings to operate the oven above the stated maximum operating temperature.
• Exterior surfaces on the 180AE-1 models may become hot to the touch when operating at higher set temperatures.
• Conduct periodic maintenance as required.
WARNING: Do not place volatile or combustible materials into incubators.
CAUTION: This unit is not intended for use with any flammable liquids or vapors, or with chemicals that produce toxic gases.
General Operation
Chamber Loading
Position unit in its ultimate operating location. Keep a minimum of 3" of airspace
around the unit and a minimum of 6" above the unit. The port hole at the top of the
unit will expel a small amount of warm air through natural convection. This port can
also be used as an access way for external temperature measurement of a solution for
example.
Install adjustable shelf by placing the ends of the wire shelf bracket into the
corresponding holes located on the inner sides of the oven at the desired height. Push
the ends of the bracket into the holes until the first bends in the bracket are against the
wall, then rotate the bracket down. Place the shelf on the brackets. (FIG 1)
Place drip tray on lower shelf.
Plug the unit into a grounded outlet for your unit's rated voltage.
The unit is ready for your immediate use. All control parameters, calibration
and tuning has been done at the factory, no adjustments are necessary.
Push the illuminated power button. All LED's on the temperature control will
light up and display the current chamber temperature and the set
temperature.
Set temperature is constantly displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the
display. To change the set temperature, simply press either the up arrow key
or the down arrow key until desired set temperature is reached. (FIG 2) The
temperature control is set at the factory to read in 1/10 degree F, or
Fahrenheit units. To change Controller functions see: Menu Level Functions
(page 3).
Once the unit nears the desired temperature, allow the unit to cycle for 20
minutes at set point before temperature becomes fully stable.

Upon each initial powering-up, the control may typically overshoot the set temperature by 1 or 2 degrees, especially if the
temperature set point is close to the operating ambient temperature. After equilibrium is achieved the control will hold set
temperature within 1 unit degree.

All units are Auto-tuned at the factory using the 'At-1' option for faster response time. You
may, however, want to Auto-tune your oven to your specific application. To do this, once at
the 'At' prompt (at left), use arrow keys to initiate either Auto-tune option: 'At-1' (for 40%
Auto-tune), or 'At-2' (for 100% Autotune). The 40% Auto-tune (At-1), will stabilize the oven
temperature quicker and with less 'overshoot' than the 100%, but will be somewhat less
precise. The 100% Auto-tune (At-2), will take longer to stabilize oven temperature but will
be more precise, and take a little longer to complete the Auto-tune process.
When at the d-U "Degree Units"
prompt, you can change the
temperature units to F for Farenheit,
or C for Celcius, by using the
buttons.
Default set to F
After most changes to the configuration,
return to normal operating mode by holding

When the oven exceeds its maximum operating temperature by 3°C a safety alarm in the
controller will cut power to the heating elements. Allow the units temperature to drop
below its maximum temperature and/or cool before reset. To reset unit, power OFF and ON
to clear alarm status. If problem remains, please contact technical support for assistance.
