To maximize the use of this Incufridge, please complete this short list before using the
Incufridge:
1. Examine carton and packaging for possible damage caused during shipping. If

the carrier from any liability of damage.
2. Fill out the checklist (page 9 of instruction manual). If something is missing please
contact Revolutionary Science.
3. Carefully read the instruction manual.

Recommended Safeguards
1. Never attempt to disassemble or modify the Incufridge.
2. Do not clean any parts with solvents.
3. Do not drop.
4. Keep door closed for effective temperature stabilization.
5. Do not operate on wet surfaces.
6. Make sure the power cord is clear of hot surfaces and other hazards. We
recommend any slack in the cord to be wrapped up and held together with a twisty
tie.
7. Avoid spills of any kind on or in the unit. This may contaminate or corrode the
surfaces.
8. Do not use around flammables, combustible materials, or explosives.
9. Keep back vents clear (at least two inches in every direction) from other
equipment and avoid setting unit on unstable surfaces. This will allow for effective air
convection.
10. Do not heat any substances that may release fumes considered to be toxic.
11. Avoid placing samples directly on floor of chamber, instead use shelf to insure
even distribution of temperature.
12. Like all heating and cooling equipment their efficiency depends upon the external
or ambient temperature. This product has a maximum efficiency at an ambient
temperature of 22°C, provided that all other safeguards are met. If the ambient
temperature increases or decreases, the maximum efficiency will decrease.

be void if malfunction is caused by accident, misuse, or negligence, including tamper-
ing, abuse, or damage in transit. This warranty excludes any relief for incidental
or consequential damages. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an im-
plied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives you spe-
cific legal rights, you may also have other rights, which may vary from state to state.

fere with the operation of these features makes this warranty null and void.
