•The unit should be put on a hard and stable substrate
•The unit should be placed at least 100 mm away from the wall
•The height of the room must be at least 300 mm greater than the height of the unit
•The unit is not designed to be built-in
•The place of installation of the unit should contain a mains socket.
If you don’t comply with the above recommendations, the unit may get broken or it may worsen the
technical parameters.
The unit has been equipped with leveling feet. Please use them to level the unit after it has been placed in

3.2. Wear and tear parts
There are the following wear and tear parts - door gasket.
3.3. Remarks on the placement of samples
To provide proper air circulation and stable conditions in which the samples are stored in the chamber, it is
necessary to keep the following rules:
- the max height of the samples should not exceed 1/3 of the space below the shelves
- the samples should be placed in such a way that so that the horizontal surface between the
containers does not exceed 1/3 of the width and height of the empty shelf
- the space between the samples and between the samples and the wall should be more or less equal
The picture below is an example of the placement of samples in the chamber.
