3. Safety Precautions
The Incu-Oven is designed for laboratory use only. Always follow laboratory guidelines.
1.Themainscordttedtothisunitisheatresistantanditshouldbereplacedwithan
equivalentcordbyaqualiedelectrician.
2. Ensure that the power supply has a safety earth (ground) terminal.
3. Ensure that the mains switch and the power supply connector are accessible
during use.
4. Before using any cleaning or decontamination methods, please read the
Maintenance Section within this product manual to ensure that the proposed
method will not damage the unit.
5.Connectonlytoapowersupplywiththecorrespondingvoltagetothatspecied
on the rating label positioned on the rear of the unit.
6. Do not block the ventilation slots during use and always follow the installation
instructions.
7. Do not use metal instruments or scouring agents to clean the interior of the
incubator/oven.
8.Donotinstalltheunitoutside,indampenvironmentsorareasthataresusceptible
toooding.
9.Donotinstalltheunitnearammableorvolatilesubstances,acidsorincorrosive
environments.
10.Donotstoreinammableorvolatilesubstancesinsidetheunit,touchlivepartsof
theunit,operatetheIncu-Ovenwithdamphands,placevesselscontaininguidon
the unit, climb or place any objects on the top of the unit.
11. Always disconnect from the power source before moving the unit.
12. Do not use without appropriate training. Always follow the installation instructions.
13. Always follow the operating and maintenance instructions. If the unit is not used
in accordance with these instructions, then the basic safety protection provided by
the Incu-Oven may be affected.
4. Maintenance & Cleaning
!Ensure that the washing agent and sanitising agent are BSI accredited and approved
by the H&S departments for use on laboratory equipment and stainless-steel within
your laboratory. DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY PRIOR TO CLEANING.
Cleaning the exterior of the Incu-Oven
1. The housing of the Incu-Oven and control panel should be cleaned at least once a
week, depending on working conditions, using a small quantity of mild detergent
applied with a soft cloth.
2. The electrical parts should not be in contact with water or detergent.

Cleaning the interior of the Incu-Oven
1. The heating chamber should be emptied of any samples prior to cleaning.
2. Only water or a mild detergent should be applied with a soft cloth.
3.Allowtheunittofullydrybeforerettingalltheaccessories.
4. During cleaning, care should be taken not to damage the internal temperature sensor.
5. The base of the chamber can become discoloured over time due to the heaters located
under the base. This is normal and does not affect the Incu-Oven’s performance.
6. The electrical parts should not be in contact with water or detergent.
When the Incu-Oven is not in use
1. Remove all objects from the chamber.
2. Disconnect the Incu-Oven from the main power supply.
3. Clean and dry the heating chamber.
4. Leave the door open to avoid smells.
5. Store the unit in temperatures between 0°C and 50°C with a relative humidity of 70%.
Exterior antibacterial painted surfaces
The Incu-Oven should be cleaned at regular intervals by wiping the external surfaces
with a soft cloth or sponge soaked in warm water and a mild detergent.
!Do not use strong solvents or solutions containing chlorinated hydrocarbons, esters,
ketones, or abrasive cleaners as this may damage the built-in antibacterial properties.
Theantibacterialpaintnishinhibitsthegrowthofbacteria.Thepaintnishhasbeen
tested by independent specialists using internationally recognised test methods and
has proven effective against a wide range of bacteria including Escherichia Coli and
Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA).
We recognise that hygienic coatings are part of a controlled approach to a cleaner
working environment. Within the paint formulation, an active ingredient with proven
antibacterial properties is maintained throughout its life span. In a laboratory
environment, this is one less source of contamination. Unlike detergents, the
antibacterialpaintnishdoesnotofferaninstantaneousactionbutisintendedforlong
term general protection against bacterial growth.
Moisture on the painted surface is necessary for the bacterium to absorb the agent
and be affected by it. Therefore, the coating is less active is extremely dry conditions
although moisture in the atmosphere will maintain some activity. Where moisture is
trapped,theseareasarediculttocleanandallowsbacteriatoproliferate.However,
these areas are where the antibacterial coating is the most active.
Portable appliance testing
Portableappliancetestingmustbeconductedbyaqualiedperson.
!Do not ash test.
