ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the chamber and Inner attachments

When using the Incubator for the first time or when performing H2O2 decontamination, refer to Removing Chamber Attachments on the following page and remove and clean the inner attachments.

WARNING

Before performing any repairs or maintenance, turn OFF the power supply switch and unplug the

Incubator. Failure to do say may result in electric shock or injury.

Be careful not to inhale chemicals, vapors or aerosols when cleaning the Incubator. Doing so may

be harmful to health.

CAUTION

Wear rubber gloves when performing maintenance on the chamber. Failure to wear gloves may result in cuts or abrasions from sharp edges or corners.

Note:

Be careful not to damage the humidifying pan water level sensor or the UV lamp in the chamber duct (if the MCO-19AIC(UV) or the optional MCO-19UVS is installed).

Do not use detergents or antiseptic solutions with acid, alkali, or chlorine. Doing so may cause discoloration, corrosion, or rusting.

1.Turn OFF the power to the Incubator.

2.Open the outer and inner doors and pull out the trays. (See Fig. 1.)

3.Lift the front of the tray supports and pull them out. (See Fig. 2.)

4.Lift the humidifying pan cover off from the pins on the rear side. (See Fig. 3.)
