 Incubator Location

  • The incubator requires a level surface to operate correctly. (Fig 1)
  • The TI-280F model is equipped with adjustable feet, which can be used for leveling if necessary. (Fig 2)
  • Do not store items on top of the incubator.
  • While ventilation is not strictly required, Thermoline recommends maintaining 100mm clearance on the sides and back to aid accessibility. (Fig 3)
  • Ensure the incubator door can open and close fully without obstruction. (Fig 4)

SAFETY NOTE

The edges of the clips can be sharp. Thermoline recommends using protective gloves while adjusting or moving the clips (e.g. leather gloves).

Loading Guidelines for Cabinets

Maintain Airflow: To ensure efficient temperature control, air circulation must remain unobstructed. Avoid placing items directly against the walls; maintain a 50mm gap on all sides. Items should be positioned to prevent blocking airflow.

Distribute Load Evenly: Spread items across all shelves instead of stacking them on one. Avoid placing items on the floor of the cabinet, as this can interfere with heating elements and compromise performance.

Avoid Excess Moisture: Ensure all items placed in the cabinet are completely dry, as moisture can compromise performance and durability.

 

shelf excluding 50mm perimeter

Ensure the highlighted area of the cabinet is clear of all obstructions to ensure that proper ventilation is allowed throughout the cabinet. 

Port Hole

The cabinet is equipped with a 54mm port hole, sealed with a removable plug. To remove the plug, simply pull it out. Keep it in a safe place in case the port hole needs to be closed again.

 

SETUP WARNINGSWarning

  • Ensure that the incubator is placed on a flat and even surface. An uneven surface may cause the cabinet to become unstable and fall, potentially damaging the product.

  • Before use, ensure that all internal and external packaging has been removed, including tape, plastic bags, and foam pieces.

  • When removing packaging, exercise caution when using knives to cut tape and cardboard to avoid damaging the incubator.
