1. The electrical supply circuit to the incubator must confirm to all national and local electric
codes. Check the serial-data plate for voltage, cycle, phase and amperage requirements
before you connect the unit.
2. Only use grounded power source (outlet) to avoid an electric shock or fire, and it is
recommended that the equipment has an unobstructed access to a dedicated power source.
3. In case of a problem, do not attempt to repair the product yourself. Do not open the power
box to avoid electric shocks.
4. Do not pull out the plug when the unit is in use. Never drag on the wire to unplug the unit.
5. This equipment can sustain a maximum of ±10% nominal voltage fluctuation; Otherwise
a power stabilizer is needed.
6. A surge protector is recommended to avoid power-related faults.
7. In case of malfunction or burning smell, the unit must be unplugged immediately .Use a
circuit breaker to cut off the power supply. Continuance of abnormal state will result in fire
caused by overheating.
8. The electric power supply must be cut off in following situations:
8.1.-When opening the door of electrical power box without cutting off power supply might
result in electric shock.
8.2.-When replacing the fuse. Replacing the fuse without cutting off the power supply will
probably result in electric shock.
8.3.-When a malfunction occurs, mishandling will result in further damage of the equipment
or accidental injury to the user(s).
8.4.-If you do not use the unit for a long period of time.
9. Never touch the glass door and/or inner chamber when the incubator is hot
10. Please make sure the platform has been securely locked before starting shaking
motions. (Refer to Chapter for more information)
Safety instruction!
Please be sure to follow the instructions, which are really
important for your safety.
Danger!
Warnings against injuries and damages.

1. Before starting your equipment, the unit must be placed horizontally on a solid, flat floor,
and elevated and leveled with four foot blocks.
2. The incubator needs even heat lost on all surfaces in order to maintain small internal
temperature variations .As a result, a minimum of 20 cm must be allowed between the
rear and sides of the incubator to any obstructions.
3. Do not locate the unit exposed to direct sunlight or near heating /cooling ducts.
4. The unit must be kept away from electromagnetic interference sources.
5. Flasks placed inside the shaking incubator should be placed to avoid (as much as
possible) imbalance on the shaking platform
6. Slam the door(s) will probably leads to damage of the equipment.
7. When in operation (the platform is still moving), do not open the lid (too much or too long)
as this might affect the temperature inside.
8. The incubator must be kept away from volatile, flammable, explosive liquids or gases
9. Please keep the chamber clean. Regular cleaning is required.
10. Please do not touch the screen with sharp objects.
Extra for refrigerated units:
11. After transport or moving –DO NOT USE this unit for at least 24 Hours, unless you are a
100% sure that the unit has been moved in an upright position only.
12. To extend the compressors life and to maintain an excellent performance of your
refrigeration system, the condenser of the unit should be cleaned every month.
Attention!
Instructions for optimal performance!
Clean the shaking incubator before you put it into use and on a regular
base.
The interior should be wiped down with an appropriate disinfectant, such
as 70 % ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL or equivalent.
DO NOT USE ANY CHLORINATED OR HALOGEN MATERIAL-
AS THIS IS HARMFUL TO THE POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL!!!

1. Performance Parameters
As one of the unique features, the sophisticated PID controller provides our new units
with great flexible choice of not only constant controlling one fixed temperature and
speed, but also programmed controlling with a series (up to 9 segments, 99 cycles) of
“ramps and soaks”, on just one unit.
4.3'' LCD 480x272 touch screen panel clearly indicates all parameters in one page
display, which also simplifies all fuzzy settings with just quick finger touches.
Both the interior and exterior are made of robust materials for lifetime operations. The
inner chamber is made of high quality #304 stainless steel sheets. All exposed edges
are de-burred to insure no sharp edges. The exterior is ABS plastic finished with powder
coated polyurethane finish, which is resistant to most chemicals and easily cleaned with
mild household detergents.
The control electronics are protected trough a circuit breaker that may trip at 110% of
loading rate, but will trip within 1 second at 150% of load rating.
Cooling system is controlled by solenoid valves, with independent compressor overload
protection.
Door switch stops the main heater and motor if lid is opened, and switches them back on
once it’s closed in 10 seconds. Otherwise the motor will remain stopped, while the main
heater resumes working.
Heater shuts off when high-temperature limit is exceeded. Shaker stops when excess
vibration is detected.
Curved tempered glass lid provides complete visibility of chamber interior, and is
non-scratch and easy to clean.
Electronic timer, from 0 –9999 minutes, automatic stop, audio/ visual alarm.
Audible and visual alarms for motor temperature and set point deviations
Non-volatile memory for set point retention after a power interruption.
“Long-Life” brushless AC motor creates a smooth and quiet shaking motion.
