INTRODUCTION
REFERENCE SENSOR DEVICE
Must be purchased separately
A reference sensor device is required for calibrating the oven temperature display.
Reference devices must meet the following standards:
•Accurate to at least 1°C
The device should be regularly calibrated, preferably by a third party.
Temperature Probes
Use a digital device with wire thermocouple probes that can be introduced into the oven chamber
through the unit access port. Select thermocouples suitable for the application temperature you will be
calibrating at.
Why Probes?
Reference readings taken outside the chamber using wire temperature probes avoid chamber door
openings. Openings disrupt the chamber temperature. Each disruption requires a minimum 1-hour wait
to allow the atmosphere to re-stabilize before continuing.
No Alcohol or Mercury Thermometers
Alcohol thermometers do not have sufficient accuracy to conducti accurate temperature calibrations.
Never place a mercury thermometer in the oven chamber! Always use thermocouple probes.

The wires for power source connection should be Green/Yellow – Earth; Black – Hot; Red – Hot.
The oven must be earth grounded using the protective conductor terminal (green with yellow
stripe wire. Do not remove the protective conductor (earth connection). Removing the protective
conductor will negate the oven’s protections against potentially dangerous electric shocks and
create a possible fire hazard.
LIFTING AND HANDLING
The oven is heavy. Use appropriate lifting devices that are sufficiently rated for these loads. Follow
these guidelines when lifting the oven:
•Lift the oven only from its bottom surface.
•Doors, handles, and knobs are not adequate for lifting or stabilization.
•Restrain the oven completely while lifting or transporting so it cannot tip.
•Remove all moving parts, such as shelves and trays, and secure the door in the closed
position during transfers to prevent shifting and damage.
LEVELING
Install the 4 leveling feet with the 4 corner holes on the bottom of the oven.
The oven must be level and stable for safe operation.
