Prevent Contamination; Installation - Sanyo MCO-18AIC Service Manual

INSTALLATION

Prevent contamination

To prevent contamination of the chamber, select an appropriate location for installation as well as
ensuring the complete disinfection of the chamber components.
1. Avoid hot and humid location
Avoid location with high temperature and/or humidity as the presence of bacteria in the air is greater than
in the normal environment.
2. Avoid drafty location and location with many passers-by
Avoid locations near doors, air conditioners, fans, etc., where slight breezes can facilitate the entry of
bacteria into the chamber.
3. Installation in a sterile room
To promote efficient cultivation, it may be best to install the unit in a sterile room.
4. Use clean containers
Contamination is often caused by containers such as Petri dishes or bottles stored in the chamber
introducing contamination. Always keep the containers clean.
Installation
1. Remove the packaging materials and tapes
Remove all transportation packaging materials and tapes. Open the doors and ventilate the unit. If the
outside panels are dirty, clean them with a diluted neutral dishwashing detergent. (Undiluted detergent
can damage the plastic components. For the dilution, refer to the instruction of the detergent.) After
the cleaning with the diluted detergent, always wipe it off with a wet cloth. Then wipe off the panels with
a dry cloth.
2. Adjust the leveling feet
Extend the leveling feet by rotating them counterclockwise so they contact the floor or bench. Ensure
the unit is level.
3. Fix the unit
Two fixtures are attached to the rear of the frame. Fix the frame to the wall with these hooks and rope or
chain.
4. Ground (earth)
WARNING
Use a power supply outlet with ground (earth) to prevent electric shock. If the power supply outlet is
not grounded, it is necessary to install a ground by qualified engineers.
Never ground the unit through a gas pipe, water main, telephone line or lightning rod. Such
grounding may cause electric shock in the case of an incomplete circuit.
