1. Place the support rail [4] on the lower embossing [6] and tilt it upwards against the work space side wall so that the rail is positioned over the two embossings at [5] and [2].
43
2. Clamp the retaining spring [3] behind the upper embossing [1].
43
3. To remove the support rails, pull the retaining spring tab down out of the embossing and remove the support rail assembly.

2. Grab the two retaining springs [2] at their tabs and the cut-out of the access port and pull them downwards out of the embossings, then take off the air baffle from the back wall.
44
3. For the air baffle to install correctly, the retaining springs must be facing upwards. Place the air baffle on the lower embossings and tilt it upwards against the back wall of the work space.
44
4. Clamp the two retaining springs [2] into the upper embossings.
44
5. Secure the air baffle against the interior container back wall by fastening the two screws at [1].

93
Cleaning
94
1. Remove all internals from the specimen chamber.
94
2. Make the Peltier-System inthe chamber accessible for cleaning
94
3. remove condense water dish on the rear wall outside and gently clean with disinfectant and lukewarm water
94
4. Attach cleaning hose to the condensate drain piping and lead the hose end in a bucket
94
5. Spray heat exchanger fins and cover plate of the Peltier system with disinfectant and wait about 3 minutes
94
6. Rinse heat exchanger fins and cover plate of the Peltier system with lukewarm water
94
7. Wipe off the specimen chamber surfaces, air baffle and the internals that have been removed from the chamber using lukewarm water mixed with standard rinsing agents. Completely remove any tenacious impurities using rinsing agent and warm water.
94
8. Re-rinse the cleansed surfaces 3 to 5 times with autoclaved water to completely remove any cleaning agent residues.
94
9. After this, wipe the cleansed surfaces, air baffle and internals dry with a soft, sterile cloth.
94
Final Disinfection
94
1. Spray the specimen chamber surfaces and the internals removed from this chamber again with disinfectant, or wipe them down.
94
2. Let the disinfectant work on the surfaces/internals as detailed in the manufacturer’s instructions.
94
3. Re-install the useable work space fan, the air baffle and all other internals in the specimen chamber.
94

Comparison Measurement Procedure
97
1. Turn the refrigerated incubator on using the power switch.
97
2. Set the temperature set value and allow the refrigerated incubator to stabilize. This may take several hours.
97
3. Place the measuring device in the center area of the work space. Alternatively, a temperature sensor may be positioned in this location. Route the connecting cable between the glass panel and the interior tank.
97
4. Close the doors.
97
5. Wait until the temperature value displayed on the measuring instrument has stabilized.
97
6. Use the temperature reading from the measuring device to calibrate temperature control manually, as explained “Entering the Calibration Reference Temperature Manually” on page 7-23.
