Safety instructions and warnings

• Topreventinjuryordamagetotheunit,theapplianceshouldbe

unpackedandsetupbytwopeople.

• Intheeventthattheapplianceisdamagedondelivery,contact

thesupplierimmediatelybeforeconnectingtothemains.

• Toguaranteesafeoperation,ensurethattheapplianceissetup

andconnectedasdescribedintheseoperatinginstructions.

• Disconnecttheappliancefromthemainsifanyfaultoccurs.Pull

outtheplug,switchofforremovethefuse.

• Whendisconnectingtheappliance,pullontheplug,notonthe

cable.

• Anyrepairsandworkontheapplianceshouldonlybecarriedout

bythecustomerservicedepartment,asunauthorisedworkcould

provehighlydangerousfortheuser.Thesameappliestochanging

themainspowercable.

• Donotallownakedflamesorignitionsourcestoentertheappli-

ance.Whentransportingandcleaningtheappliance,ensurethat

therefrigerantcircuitisnotdamaged.Intheeventofdamage,

make sure that there are no ignition sources nearby and keep the

roomwellventilated.

• Donotstandontheplinth,drawersordoorsorusethemtosup-

portanythingelse.

• Thisappliancecanbeusedbychildrenof8yearsoldandover,and

orlackofexperienceandknowledge,iftheyaresupervisedor

have been instructed on safe use of the appliance and understand

theresultingrisks.Childrenmustnotbeallowedtoplaywiththe

appliance.Cleaningandusermaintenancemustnotbecarried

outbychildrenwithoutsupervision.

• Avoidprolongedskincontactwithcoldsurfacesorchilled/frozen

food.Thiscouldcausepain,numbnessandfrostbite.Inthecase

ofprolongedskincontact,protectivemeasuresshouldbetaken,

e.g.glovesshouldbeworn.

• Donotstoreexplosivesorspraysusingcombustiblepropellants

suchasbutane,propane,pentane,etc.intheappliance.Electrical

componentsmightcauseleakinggastoignite.Youmayidentify

suchspraysbytheprintedcontentsoraflamesymbol.

• Ifyouhavealockableappliance,donotkeepthekeynearthe

applianceorwithinreachofchildren.

• Theapplianceisdesignedforuseinenclosedareas.Donotoperate

theapplianceoutdoorsorinareaswhereitisexposedtosplash

waterordampconditions.

• Donotplaceitemswithtoohightemperatureintheinterior.

Disposal notes

The appliance contains reusable materials and should be

disposedofproperly-notsimplywithunsortedhousehold

refuse.Applianceswhicharenolongerneededmustbe

- Theincubatorshouldnotbeopenedtooftenand/orforlonger

periodoftime.

- Checkthefunctionofthetwofansbyvisualinspection.

- Checkthecoolingdevicebysetting10°Candwaitforasigni-

cantchangeofthetemperatureinthesampletowards10°C.

Other operation controls

On the front side of the temperature control unit there are

covered shock-proof sockets for the connection of BOD's

appliances or stirring apparates. The total load on the sockets

must not exceed 4,5 amps.

The thermostatically controlled oven and laboratory sockets are

protectedbyafuse(6.3AT)whichisaccessiblefromthefront

Cleaning

Clean the appliance at least twice per year.

Before cleaning always switch off the appliance. Pull out the

mains plug or switch off or unscrew the fuse.

•Clean the inside, equipment and outer walls with

abrasiveoracidcleanersorchemicalsolvents.

•Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the

electricalcomponentsorventilationgrille.

•Thedustshouldberemovedfromtherefrigeration

theappliance-onceayear.

•Donotdamageorremovethetypeplateonthein-

sideoftheappliance.Itisveryimportantforservicing

purposes.

•Important! The compressor and other parts may

stillbehotfromoperation.

Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk

of injury and damage.

Defrosting

Whenoperatingataverycoldthermostatsetting,theinteriorrear

wallmayiceup.

Inthiscase,theappliancemustbedefrostedmanually.

•Pull out the mains plug!

•Leavethedooroftheapplianceopenwhiledefrosting.

Defrostedwatercollectsinanevaporatortrayandis

evaporatedautomatically.Attentionmustbepaidthat

drainageopeninginthebackpaneloftheincubator.

The drainage opening should, when necessary be

cleanedwiththeaidofasuitabledevice(e.g.bottle

brush).Afterdefrostingmopuptheremainingwater

andcleantheappliance.

Do not use any mechanical devices or other

artiﬁcial aids for defrosting other than those

recommended by the manufactur er.

Shutting your appliance down

Ifyourapplianceistobeshutdownforanylengthoftime,switch

itoffanddisconnecttheplugorswitchofforunscrewthefuse.

Cleantheapplianceandleavethedooropeninordertoprevent

unpleasantsmells.

The permissible room temperature for storing the appliance

after decommissioning is between -10°C and +50°C.

Storing the appliance outside this temperature range can

damage the appliance and cause it to malfunction.
