3. BEFORE THE FIRST USE
The surface components of the unit are made of stainless steel, therefore 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.
While carrying the unit, please do not tilt it to one side more than 45° from the upright posi-
tion, as there is a high probability of damaging the compressor. If it is necessary to tilt it to
one side more than 45°, then after siting, please wait at least 3 hours before connecting the
unit to the mains.

Instruction Manual INCU-Line Premium

The amount of water depends on the following factors:
- Differences between ambient and set temperatures
- Frequency of door openings
- Temperature of samples
Do not use any cardboard boxes, sponges and other hygroscopic materials for storing the samples since
they may increase the relative humidity in the chamber.
3.3. Placement of samples
To provide proper air circulation and stable conditions within the chamber, it is necessary to adhere to the
following rules:
- the max height of the samples should not exceed 2/3 of the shelf space
- the samples should be placed so that the space between the containers does not exceed 1/3 of the
width and height of the shelf
- samples should be placed with equal spacing between each other and the chamber walls
The picture below is an example of the placement of samples in the chamber.
