UNIT SPECIFICATIONS
This oven is a 230 voltage single phase unit. Please refer to the oven data plate for individual electrical
specifications.
Technical data specified applies to units with standard equipment at an ambient temperature of 25°C and
a nominal voltage. The temperatures specified are determined in accordance with factory standard
following DIN 12880 respecting the recommended wall clearances of 10% of the height, width, and depth
of the inner chamber. All indications are average values, typical for units produced in the series. We
reserve the right to alter technical specifications at all times.
