Set-up & Installation
Read Operating Instructions Thoroughly Prior to Operation
Safety Precautions
Read Operating Instructions thoroughly prior to operation. Use only a grounded outlet that is rated for your
model's electrical requirement. Do not modify the oven or factory control settings to operate the oven above the
stated maximum operating temperature. Exterior surfaces on the 180AE models may become hot to the touch
when operating at higher set temperatures. Conduct periodic maintenance as required.
General Operation
Chamber Loading
Position unit in its ultimate operating location. Keep a minimum of 3"
of airspace around the unit and a minimum of 6" above the unit. The
port hole at the top of the unit will expel a small amount of warm air
through natural convection. This port can also be used as an access
way for external temperature measurement of a solution for example.
Install adjustable shelf by placing the ends of the wire shelf bracket
into the corresponding holes located on the inner sides of the oven at
the desired height. Push the ends of the bracket into the holes until the
first bends in the bracket are against the wall, then rotate the bracket
down. Place the shelf on the brackets. (FIG 1)
Place drip tray on lower shelf.
Plug the unit into a grounded outlet for your unit's rated voltage.
The unit is ready for your immediate use. All control parameters,
calibration and tuning has been done at the factory, no adjustments are
necessary.
Push the illuminated power button. All LED's on the temperature control
will light up and display the current chamber temperature and the set
temperature. The motor will also start.
Set temperature is constantly displayed in the lower right-hand corner of
the display. To change the set temperature, simply press either the up
arrow key or the down arrow key until desired set temperature is
reached. (FIG 2) The temperature control is set at the factory to read
in 1/10 degree F, or Fahrenheit units. To change Controller functions
see: Menu Level Functions (page 3).
Once the unit nears the desired temperature, allow the unit to cycle for
20 minutes at set point before temperature becomes fully stable.
NOTE: Upon each initial powering-up, the control may typically overshoot the set temp by a few degrees,
especially if the temperature set point is close to the operating ambient temperature. After equilibrium is achieved
the control will hold set temperature within 1 unit degree.

Leave a space between articles on a shelf to allow the unit's horizontal
air flow to circulate around each article. (FIG. 3)
Don't block the return air port located at the back of the lower
plenum/shelf.
Avoid extremely large (in quantity or size) or high-density loads. This
will show by non-uniform processing and long or impossible "heat-
through" times. To help determine a large load's suitability, use the set-
point recovery time (the time it takes for the temperature to recover to
the original set temperature once load is placed), as a guide. To reduce
recovery time, reduce load proportionally. When possible, measure
large loads or solution temperatures directly with an ancillary
thermometer or probe. Probes can be inserted at top port.
Article processing times and temperature uniformity are largely dependent on load density and positioning. Load
the incubator so that air circulation within the incubator is not impaired. Here are some general guidelines:
