Mechanical Convection Oven 1-1Cole-Parmer
Section 1 Introduction
Thank you for selecting Cole-Parmer instruments for your equipment
needs.
Cole-Parmer's Economy Gravity Convection Ovens are designed for use in
hospitals, industry, and school laboratories - wherever there is a need for
low-cost, yet reliable ovens for drying, sterilization, baking, evaporation or
similar type work.
A hydraulic thermostat provides reliable temperature control with a range
from slightly above ambient to 210°C. A sheathed heater is positioned in
the bottom of the chamber along with a constant-speed fan that circulates
heated air rapidly throughout the chamber. The metal cover shields the fan
and protects against splattering in the even that any material is accidentally
spilled in the area of the fan.
Chamber temperature is conveniently monitored via an LED display on
the control panel. To guard against overtemperature conditions, a factory-
set hi-limit thermostat is an integral part of the electrical system.
One-inch thick silica-based insulation in the double-walls of the chamber
helps retain chamber heat. The interior walls of the chamber are stainless
steel and the shelves are chromeplated steel for ease of maintenance and
clean up.
These ovens also have a steel exterior finished in baked enamel and are
rigidly constructed for long, trouble-free service.
These instructions contain important operating and safety information.
The user must carefully read and understand these instructions before
using the unit. Your unit has been designed to optimize function,
reliability, safety and ease of use. It is the user’s responsibility to install the
oven in conformance with local electrical codes.
