7. Order of Operations for Use:
1. Irrigation: Connect one end of the rubber tube to the "inlet, outlet" valve at the back of the device and the other end to a water source. Open the "inlet, outlet" valve and let the water pressure fill the water jacket. When the injected water exceeds 12 liters (the water level exceeds the heating tubes), you can connect the power and continue to inject water while observing the water level indicator (low water level may trigger an alarm) until the high-water level indicator light turns green. Then, stop injecting water, turn off the "inlet, outlet" valve. Alternatively, you can inject water into the overflow until the water overflows and then release a little water.
2. Please use only pure water or distilled water to prevent scaling inside the water jacket.
3. After installing the incubator and irrigating it with water, you can operate it according to the following steps:
1. Open the door, clean the studio, and put away the shelf. 2. If humidity is required, the humidity tray will need to be filled with two-thirds of water and placed at
the bottom of the studio. Then close the door. 3. Open the power switch behind the control box. At this time, the incubator should display the
temperature and the high-water level indicator light should be on. 4. Press the "sterilization" key to sterilize the studio. Note: Do not press this key when there are cultures
inside! After sterilization, press the "sterilization" button again and close the germicidal lamp. 5. First, set the required temperature for heating the incubator (see the temperature controller
operating instructions in section V). 6. Wait until the temperature is constant, then open the door and place the culture inside the box. 7. Press the "CO2/power" button to turn on the CO2 control power supply. 8. First, set up the required percentage of CO2 concentration (see VI concentration controller operating
instructions). 9. Open the switch of the CO2 gas cylinder, and slowly adjust the CO2 valve so that the second pressure
gauge indicates about 0.06 Mpa. If the pressure is too high and the CO2 concentrations rise too fast, it will increase the fluctuation range. If the pressure is too low and the CO2 concentrations rise too slowly, it will cause an alarm. Open the regulator valve (turn clockwise to open). Generally, it was already opened before being sent out. The concentration can gradually increase after 1 minute, and it can reach 5.0 % after 10 minutes (when the set value is 5.0 %). 10. When working, if cleanliness is required, you can alternate between opening pump 1 and pump 2 for the inner loop filter.
4. When the incubator stops working, please follow these steps:
1. Close the switch of the CO2 gas cylinder and the reducing valve. 2. Turn off the CO2 control power and the pump power in order to stop the CO2 control panel and
pump from working. 3. Open the door, remove the humidity tray, and hold down the door switch by hand to allow the
incubator to work for a few minutes to disperse the water vapor in the box. 4. Close the door and let the incubator continue heating for about 10 minutes, then turn off the power
and clean the inside.

8. Notes:

1. The equipment should be installed in a clean place with minimal temperature fluctuations. 2. Before powering it on, you should thoroughly read and understand the manual to master the correct
usage of the component parts.

The control box at the rear of the unit is equipped with fuses. If the device does not power on, check

if the fuse tube is intact. When checking and replacing the fuse tube, cut off the power and replace it

with the same model specification.

4. When the incubator has no water, it cannot be turned on to prevent damage to the internal parts.

When there are cultures inside the incubator, do not turn on the germicidal lamp to avoid damaging

the culture. Turn off the power when replacing the lamp.

6. The membrane needs to be replaced about once every six months. Note the direction of import and

export when replacing it, and replace two 0.45 filters and two non-woven filter cloths one by one.

Tighten the filter to avoid leaks after replacement.

7. Please do not randomly adjust the regulator valve behind the control box, as it may affect the CO2

concentration control. If the CO2 concentration increases too slowly or too quickly, you can adjust the

regulator valve by turning it clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease.

8. Connect the CO2 gas cylinder to the incubator inlet with a hose and fasten it to prevent leakage. The

second reducing valve should be adjusted within 0.06~0.08 MPa, and the maximum should not be

greater than 0.1 Mpa.

9. If the caisson pressure of the CO2 cylinder is too low to generate unstable flow, it should be reversed or

re-inflated before use.

10. To save energy and extend the lamp's life, the "light" switch can be switched on and off as needed.

11. The equipment must be grounded well. Before using, check the power ground stringently.

12. The machine is equipped with an electromagnetic pump. Turn off the power when exchanging the pump.
13. To reduce temperature fluctuations and ensure uniformity after the studio is closed, a delay of about 10 minutes is necessary after closing (the delay time can be set according to actual needs). When the equipment starts to heat up, please avoid frequently opening the door.
14. Please drain the water in the water jacket when the equipment is unused for long periods.

9. Storage and Transportation:
The incubator should be stored in a well-maintained room with a relative humidity of less than 80% and free of corrosive gases. During transportation, necessary protective measures should be taken to prevent shock and moisture. The incubator should not be transported upside down and should be handled with care.
