GENERAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Your incubator and its recommended accessories are designed and tested to meet strict safety
requirements. Only use this equipment for its intended application; any alterations or modifications void
the warranty. Failure to follow the guidelines and instructions in this manual may create a protection
impairment by disabling or interfering with the unit’s safety features. This can result in injury or death.
For continued safe operation of your incubator, always follow basic safety precautions including:

RECEIVING YOUR INCUBATOR
Before leaving the factory, all incubators are packaged in high-quality shipping materials to provide
protection from transportation-related damage.
When an incubator leaves the factory, safe delivery becomes the responsibility of the carrier. Damage
sustained during transit is not covered by the warranty.
When you receive your incubator, inspect it for concealed loss or damage to its interior and exterior. If
you find any damage to the incubator, then follow the carrier’s procedure for claiming damage or loss.
INSPECTING THE SHIPMENT
Carefully inspect the shipping carton for damage. Report any damage to the carrier service that delivered
the incubator. If the carton is not damaged, open the carton and remove the contents.
Verify that the correct number of shelves, shelf slides, and leveling feet have been included (see the
following table for quantities).
Included accessories
Carefully check all packaging before discarding. Save the shipping carton until you are sure everything
works properly.
RETURNING THE SHIPMENT
If you must return the incubator for any reason, first contact your service representative for a return of
