Leveling the Unit

Model 3940 Series 1-1Thermo Electron Corporation

Section 1 Installation and Set-Up

Locate the unit on a firm, level surface in an area of minimum ambient

temperature fluctuation. A minimum of three (3) inches of clearance is

required at the top and back of the incubator. This space is necessary to

allow adequate airflow around the refrigeration system. At least eight (8)

inches clearance above the cabinet is required for service access.

Disinfect all interior surfaces with a general-use laboratory disinfectant.

Rinse thoroughly with sterile distilled water, then 70% ethanol. Dry with a

sterile cloth as needed.

Disinfect the shelf channels and shelves, then rinse with distilled water

before installing.

Caution Before using any cleaning or decontamination method except

those recommended by the manufacturer, users should check with the

manufacturer that the proposed method will not damage the equipment. V

Warning Accidental spills of hazardous materials on or inside this unit are

the responsibility of the user. V

The shelves may be installed at any level

in the incubator. Install a shelf channel

on each side. With the tabs pointing up,

attach the channel by locating the rivet

into a slotted hole, far end first. Pull the

channel toward the front and slide the

front rivet on the channel into the slotted

hole and press down. Make sure that the

channels are opposite each other so that

the installed shelf will be level.

Place a bubble-type level on a shelf inside the incubator. Adjust the feet as

needed; counterclockwise to lengthen or clockwise to shorten. Level the

unit front-to-back and left-to-right.
