Defrosting
When operating at a very cold thermostat setting, the interior rear
wall may ice up.
In this case, the appliance must be defrosted manually.
Pull out the mains plug!
•
• Leave the door of the appliance open while defrosting.
Defrosted water collects in an evaporator tray and is
evaporated automatically. Attention must be paid that
the defrosted water can drain off freely through the
drainage opening in the back panel of the incubator.
The drainage opening should, when necessary be
cleaned with the aid of a suitable device (e.g. bottle
brush). After defrosting mop up the remaining water
and clean the appliance.
Do not use any mechanical devices or other
artificial aids for defrosting other than those
recommended by the manufactur er.
Cleaning
Clean the appliance at least twice per year.
Before cleaning always switch off the appliance. Pull out the
mains plug or switch off or unscrew the fuse.
• Clean the inside, equipment and outer walls with
lukewarm water and a little detergent. Do not use
abrasive or acid cleaners or chemical solvents.
• Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the
elec t rical components or ventilation grille.
• The dust should be removed from the refrigeration
unit and heat exchanger - metal grid at the back of
the appliance - once a year.
• Do not damage or remove the type plate on the in-
side of the appliance. It is very important for servicing
purposes.
• Important!
The compressor and other parts may
still be hot from operation.
Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk
of injury and damage.

Malfunctions
If a malfunction occurs during operation, check whether it is due
to an operating error.
You may be able to rectify the following faults yourself:
• Appliance does not function:
– Is the appliance switched on?
– Is the plug correctly fitted in the mains socket?
– Is the fuse intact? If necessary, replace with a new 6.3 A (slow).
• Loud running noise:
– Is the appliance set up firmly on the floor?
– Does the appliance cause nearby items of furniture or objects to
vibrate? Please note that noises caused by the refrigerant circuit
cannot be avoided.
• Correct display of inside temperature but no regulation to the
temperature setpoint:
– Is the temperature setting correct (see "Setting the temperature")?
– I s the ventilation system working properly?
– I s the appliance set up too close to a heat source?
If none of the above causes apply and you cannot rectify the fault
yourself. Contact your dealer or supplier, if necessary send in the
control unit or thermostat-controlled incubator for repair (original
packing if possible!).
Important
Before undertaking any repair work disconnect plug from
mains! Only trained specialists should work on electrical
devices.
Shutting your appliance down
If your appliance is to be shut down for any length of time, switch
it off and disconnect the plug or switch off or unscrew the fuse.

unpleasant smells.
The permissible room temperature for storing the appliance
after decommissioning is between -10°C and +50°C.
Storing the appliance outside this temperature range can
damage the appliance and cause it to malfunction.
