1. Safety
Always observe the following safety precautions:
• Use only as specified by the operating instructions or the intrinsic
protection may be impaired. After transport or storage in humid
conditions, dry out the unit before connecting it to the supply voltage.
During drying out the intrinsic protection may be impaired.
• Connect only to a power supply with a voltage corresponding to that on
the serial number label.
• Connect only to a power supply that provides a safety ground terminal.
• Before moving, disconnect at the power supply socket.
• Do not check the temperature by touch, but instead use the thermometer.
• To reduce the risk of eye injury during high temperature operation, use
safety goggles or spectacles.
• Do not touch surfaces that become hot during high temperature operation.
• Insure that the operating temperature is less than the maximum operating
temperature of your sample material.
• Insure that the power switch is easily accessible during use.
• If liquid is spilled inside the unit, disconnect it from the power supply and
have it checked by a competent person.
• It is the user’s responsibility to carry out appropriate decontamination if
hazardous material is spilled on or inside the equipment.
• The responsible body shall be made aware that, if the equipment is used
in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by
the equipment may be impaired.

2. Product Information
132000 Incubator
• Operating Instructions
Two Shelves
Eight Shelf Brackets
The Boekel series of Incubators are designed for laboratories and clinics that
require contemporary styling, accuracy and economy in a basic incubator package.
Boekel’s 132000 Incubator provides excellent incubator performance at the most
economical cost. This Incubator uses a dial controlled thermostat for temperature
control and provides a top enter ferrule entry point for thermometer insertion. The
132000 incubator has a chamber volume of 0.8 cu. ft. (0.02 cu. m) and a chamber
temperature range of ambient +5˚C to 60˚C. The incubator comes with two
movable shelves. Additional shelving may be purchased.
3. Assembly
3.1 Unpacking Remove packing materials carefully, and retain for future shipment or storage of
the unit. Inspect for damage. Report all shipping damage to the carrier
immediately. Shipping damage is covered by the carrier and repair/replacement
for shipping damages must be coordinated through the carrier. Complete and
return the Warranty Registration Card. Pack should contain:
•
•
•
3.2 Installation Place the Incubator on a flat and stable surface, preferably away from drafts.
Insure that the surface on which the unit is placed will withstand the radiated heat
produced by typical laboratory incubators. Plug power cord into a power supply
that matches the voltage listed on the serial number label on the rear of the unit.
Insert the wire rack shelves at the desired heights. Refer to the sketch below for
proper shelf bracket installation for the Incubator.

4.2 Setting the Temperatur e Use the temperature adjust knob to set the desired temperature. The knob is
rotated clockwise to increase the chamber temperature and counter clockwise to
decrease the chamber temperature.
4.3 Operating the Incubator To turn the incubator on, switch the power switch to the on (I) position. Set the
desired chamber temperature. The heater lamp will illuminate and remain lit until
the chamber reaches the set temperature. After reaching the set temperature,
the heater lamp will cycle on and off with heater operation. Allow a 60 minute
chamber temperature equilibration when starting the incubator from a cold start.
Allow at least 15 minutes for the re-equilibration when changing temperatures.
To turn the incubator off, switch the power switch to the off (O) position or unplug
the unit. If the temperature adjust knob is not moved when the incubator is
powered down, the incubator will return to its previously set temperature upon
restart.
