Maintenance

Regular cleaning of the water tray is crucial for preventing bacterial growth and maintaining a hygienic incubation environment. Follow these guidelines:

• Daily Check: Inspect the water level daily and refill as needed with distilled or demineralized water.
• Weekly Cleaning (or between batches):
  1. Unplug the incubator and remove the water tray.
  2. Empty any remaining water.
  3. Wash the tray with mild soap and warm water. Use a soft brush or sponge to remove any residue.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue.
  5. Sanitize the tray using an incubator-safe disinfectant solution, if recommended by your incubator's manufacturer.
  6. Allow the tray to air dry completely before placing it back into the incubator.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic or leave residues harmful to developing embryos.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues related to the water tray, consider the following:

• Low Humidity:
  • Check water level in the tray; refill if necessary.
  • Ensure the tray is correctly seated and not obstructed.
  • Verify the incubator lid/door is securely closed.
• Water Leakage:
  • Inspect the tray for cracks or damage. If damaged, replace the tray.
  • Ensure the tray is not overfilled.
  • Confirm the tray is sitting level within the incubator.
