CAUTION: This symbol refers you to important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions within the product
Instruction Manual. Failure to heed this information may present a risk of damage or injury to persons or equipment.
CAUTION: To avoid accidental bodily harming or burning, be very careful touching the metal parts of the unit. It can be
very hot after it is used at high temperatures. Allow the metal parts to cool down before handling.
Grounding
AC power’s grounding should be reliable to safeguard against an electric shock. The 3-pin plug supplied with the Labnet
Microtube Shaking Incubator’s power cable is a safety device that should be matched with a suitable grounded socket.
Never allow the third ground pin to be floating. If the 3-pin plug cannot be inserted, it is recommended to ask an
electrician to install an appropriate power socket.
AC Power Considerations
Before turning on the power, always make sure that the mains voltage is within the range of required power supply
(±10% difference is allowed) and the rating current of the power socket meets the required specification as shown in
below contents.

Design Environments
The Labnet Microtube Shaking Incubator should be placed in a low-humidity, dust-free, well-ventilated room without
caustic gas or powerful magnetic interference. The Labnet Microtube Shaking Incubator should not be operated in close
proximity to water sources, such as pools and water pipes. Never cover or obstruct the openings of the Labnet Microtube
Shaking Incubator, which are designed for ventilation and to prevent the device’s interior from becoming too hot. When
a single device is running, the shortest distance between its openings and the nearest object should be at least 20 inches
(50 cm); when two devices or more are running simultaneously, the shortest distance is 40 inches (100 cm) among these
machines. Do not place the device on a soft surface. Doing so will result in adverse ventilation near the device’s bottom
openings. Operating conditions that cause a high temperature environment will result in degraded performance or failure
of the Labnet Microtube Shaking Incubator. Additionally, the device should be protected against any kind of heat sources
such as sunlight, ovens, or central heating equipment. If the Labnet Microtube Shaking Incubator will sit idle for extended
periods of time, it is recommended to disconnect the power line from the mains, and cover the device with a piece of soft
cloth or plastic to prevent against dust.
Once one of the following events occurs, the operator is advised to disconnect the power cable from the mains, and
contact your local Corning representative or ask a certified maintenance engineer for assistance.
Liquid enters into the device
The device malfunctions, giving off an abnormal sound or odor
The device falls onto the floor or the housing is damaged
Significant changes in the device’s performance
The Labnet Microtube Shaking Incubator is designed to be safe at least when operated under the following conditions:
