PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
It is imperative that the user complies with this manual as it contains
important safety advice.
Items and procedures are described so that you can use this unit correctly and safely.
If the precautions advised are followed, this will prevent possible injury to the user and
any other person.
Precautions are illustrated in the following way:
WARNING
Failure to observe WARNING signs could result in a hazard to personnel
possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
CAUTION
Failure to observe CAUTION signs could result in injury to personnel and
damage to the unit and associated property.
Symbol shows;
this symbol means caution or warning.
this symbol means an action is prohibited.
this symbol means an instruction must be followed.
Be sure to keep this manual in a place accessible to users of this unit.
< Label on the unit >
This mark is labeled on the cover in which the electrical components of high voltage are
enclosed to prevent the electric shock.
The cover should be removed by a qualified engineer or a service personnel only.
WARNING
As with any equipment that uses CO
2
/ O
2
/ N
2
gas, there is a likelihood of oxygen depletion in the vicinity
of the equipment. It is important that you assess the work site to ensure there is suitable and sufficient
ventilation. If restricted ventilation is suspected, then other methods of ensuring a safe environment
must be considered. These may include atmosphere monitoring and warning devices.
O
2
gas increases the susceptibility of substances to burn. Take care of the handling of flame in a room
where the incubator is installed.

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION
Do not use the unit outdoors. Current leakage or electric shock may result if the unit is exposed to
rain water.
Only qualified engineers or service personnel should install the unit. The installation by
unqualified personnel may cause electric shock or fire.
Install the unit on a sturdy floor. If the floor is not strong enough or the installation site is not
adequate, this may result in injury from the unit falling or tipping over.
Never install the unit in a humid place or a place where it is likely to be splashed by water.
Deterioration of the insulation may result which could cause current leakage or electric shock.
Never splash water directly onto the unit as this may cause electric shock or short circuit.
Use a dedicated power source as indicated on the rating label attached to the unit.
Remove dust from the power supply plug before inserting in a power source. A dusty plug or
improper insertion may cause a hazard.
Use a power supply outlet with ground (earth) to prevent electric shock. If the power supply
outlet is not grounded (earthed), it will be necessary to install a ground by qualified engineers.
Never ground the unit through a gas pipe, water main, telephone line or lightning rod. Such
grounding may cause electric shock in the case of an incomplete circuit.
Check the gas type and ensure that it is fit for the purpose. Make sure that all pipes are
connected correctly and are not liable to become disconnected. Ensure that the gas pressure
is set at the specified value. Improper connection of the gas pipe or use of incorrect gas
pressure may result in leakage of CO
2
gas. Elevated level of CO
2
gas can be hazardous to
health and may lead to asphyxiation and risk of death.
Never store volatile or flammable substances in this unit. This may cause explosion or fire.
Ventilate a room air occasionally when using CO
2
gas for control. The gas density will increase
in an enclosed small room and high level of gas density can be hazardous to health. In addition,
avoid inhaling the chamber air directly when opening the door if CO
2
gas is used.
Si l’appareil est utilisé dans un evdroit restreint, le niveau de la densité CO
2
de l’air peut s’élever
et peut être nocif aux humains. Évitez d’aspirer l’air provenant de l’intérieur de l’appareil quand
vous ouverz la porte.
Do not insert metal objects such as a pin or a wire into any vent, gap or any outlet for inner air
circulation. This may cause electric shock or injury by accidental contact with moving parts.
