TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
Turn the power switch "On". Turn the regulating
control knob and the safety control knob fully
clockwise. The regulating pilot light should glow,
indicating the oven is being heated.
When the desired safety temperature is reached
(usually 2-3°C above the regulating temperature)
as indicated on the pyrometer, turn the safety
control knob counterclockwise until the safety pilot
light glows. At this time the regulating pilot light
will turn off. Allow the oven to cycle several times
(3 to 4 hours) to establish the desired safety
temperature. Adjust the safety control knob up or
down as necessary.
Turn the regulating control knob counterclockwise
until the regulating or safety pilot light turns off.
Adjust the regulating control knob down until the
desired operating temperature is obtained. Allow
the oven to cycle several times (3 to 4 hours) to
establish the desired operating temperature. The
regulating pilot light will cycle on and off, indicating
normal operation. The safety pilot light should stay
off.
If at any time the safety pilot light glows, check the
controls to be sure the safety control is not set
below the regulating control.
Oven thermostats are set for operation at
temperatures over 100°C.
For control at lower temperatures, readjustment
of the thermostat may be necessary.
Two allen wrenches are required:
• 1/16" for the thermostat shaft
• 5/64" for the thermostat knob
1. Bring oven to room ambient.
2. Energize oven.
3. Set thermostat fully counter-clockwise (heat
lamp is on).
4. Remove thermostat knob. Note small allen
screw within shaft.
5. Turn shaft allen screw clockwise until lamp
goes out.
6. Attempt to control at the desired temperature.
7. It may be necessary to repeat this procedure.
NOTE
WHEN THE OVEN IS NEW AND IS FIRST HEATED,
THE INSULATION WILL BECOME SCORCHED AND
SOME SMOKE AND BURNING ODOR WILL OCCUR.
IT IS NORMAL FOR THIS CONDITION TO LAST 2
TO 3 HOURS AT HIGH HEAT.
VACUUM OPERATION
The following information serves as a guide to
operation of the vacuum system.
The total variable leak rate of the oven is 3 inches
of mercury per cubic foot per 24 hours at 29 to 26
inches of mercury.
Vacuum Sealing Agents
High vacuum silicone grease is often necessary
to provide a proper seal at tubing connections,
valve connections, door seals, etc. This is
especially important at high vacuums. However,
there are restrictions to using silicone grease,
depending upon the type of materials placed in
the oven. Refer to the maintenance section of this
manual for restrictions.
Out Gassing
The operation of the oven at high temperature while
evacuating the chamber will help drive off absorbed
gasses on the walls and other surfaces and
facilitate attainment of high vacuums.
Evacuating Chamber
Connect vacuum tubing to either hose connection
on side of vacuum oven. Turn on the vacuum
pump, then open the valve on the oven. The
vacuum gauge will indicate when the desired
pressure level is obtained. Once obtained, close
the valve, and turn off the vacuum pump. Air may
be bled into the chamber through the unused valve
to raise the pressure level.
NOTE
TO MAINTAIN AS LEAK PROOF A SYSTEM AS
POSSIBLE USE ONLY VACUUM PUMP TUBING.
MAKE SURE ALL CONNECTIONS ARE TIGHT. USE
A VACUUM PUMP SIZED TO ADEQUATELY
EVACUATE THE OVEN VOLUME.

5
CAUTION
VACUUM PUMPS SHOULD NEVER BE TURNED
OFF WHILE CONNECTED TO A SYSTEM UNDER
VACUUM. OIL BACK UP INTO THE LINES AND
SYSTEM WILL OCCUR NECESSITATING
EXTENSIVE CLEAN UP.
When turning vacuum pump off, immediately
undo the connection at the oven valve or the
pump intake.
1. Close the vacuum valve
2. Turn the pump off.
3. Immediately break the connection at the
pump or oven.
4. Leave connection open for one minute,
then reattach.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
1. If the oven fails to maintain set temperature,
it may indicate a problem with the Temp.
Control, or possibly a heating element failure.
Contact your local service representative.
2. Gaskets should be checked periodically for
hardening, shrinking, deterioration or other
signs of wear. It is advisable to keep several
gaskets available for use as replacement.
3. The oven is equipped with silicone door
gaskets, unless specified otherwise. Do not
use silicone door gaskets or vacuum grease
when evaporating solvents in the oven or
when using high analine point oils. BUNA-N
gaskets should be used in applications when
evaporation solvents or when using high
analine point oils.
4. The interior finish or silicone gaskets may be
damaged by the following:
Diesel oil
JP-4 oil
MIL-0-5606
Hydraulic Fluids
Butyl Acetate
Carbon Tetrachloride
Ethylene Chloride
Gasoline
Kerosene
Zylene

MAINTENANCE OF STAINLESS
STEEL
WARNING
UNIT MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM POWER
SOURCE PRIOR TO SERVICING. IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT ALL SERVICE BE
PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
CAUTION
ELECTROLYSIS CAN DAMAGE STAINLESS STEEL.
THIS CAN OCCUR IF AN OBJECT IS ALLOWED TO
REST DIRECTLY ON THE SURFACE, TRAPPING
MOISTURE THAT BECOMES OXYGEN STARVED
BUT IS SURROUNDED BY WATER CONTAINING
OXYGEN. THE RESULTING ELECTROLYTIC
ACTION WILL PIT OR CORRODE THE STAINLESS
STEEL.
Background
Stainless steel is an alloy of steel with chromium
and nickel which increase the metal's resistance
to rust and corrosion. However, if not properly
cared for it can rust and corrode. Exposure to air
provides the passivation for clean stainless steel.
This exposure produces a thin, durable chromium-
oxide film that forms rapidly on the alloy surface
and gives stainless steel its characteristic
"stainless" quality. Exposure of the surface to water
or other oxidizing environments also produces this
passivating film. However, if free oxygen is not
available due to scale or contamination buildup the
metal surface may become vulnerable to attack.
Maintaining a neutral pH and frequent cleaning with
detergent and water will give you years of trouble
free service for your oven. The following are some
guidelines to consider.
Other Water Additives
Proper maintenance of the stainless steel oven
chamber will help assure many years of service.
It should be cleaned regularly with mild soapy water
and rinsed with distilled water. Always thoroughly
dry the chamber after cleaning.
IMPORTANT
IF IT IS NECESSARY TO USE THE FOLLOWING
CHEMICALS, LIMIT THE EXPOSURE TIME TO A
MAXIMUM OF FOUR HOURS. CLEAN SURFACES
IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE.
Citric Acid (Boiling) Mercury Salts
Stannous Chloride Tartaric Acid
Potassium Permanganate Lysol
Aluminum Chloride BariumChlori
Chlorinated Lime Calcium Chloride
Dakin's Solution Ferrous Chloride
Potassium Thiocyanate Phenol
Sodium Hypochlorite
NEVER USE THE FOLLOWING:
Aqua Regia Ferric Chloride
Iodine Sodium Azide
Sulfuric Acid
Cleaning
Spills of any chemical, especially those listed
above should be removed as soon as possible and
the stainless steel surface cleaned with mild soapy
water followed by copious rinse with clean water.
Do not use soap filled or metallic pads. Even
stainless steel pads are to be avoided as they may
destroy the passive film on the surface of the metal
and create crevices that may harbor contamination.
If stubborn stains persist use a plastic light duty
cleansing pad and rub gently in the direction of
the metal grain. If stains continue to persist use
one of the following methods.
WARNING
THE FOLLOWING CHEMICAL METHODS HAVE
PROVEN SUCCESSFUL BUT EXTREME CARE
MUST BE TAKEN WHEN HANDLING THESE
MATERIALS. ALWAYS WORK IN AN AREA WITH
ADEQUATE VENTILATION. USE THE
PRECAUTIONS OUTLINED IN THE MATERIAL
SAFETY DATA SHEET (MSDS) AND
MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
PRODUCT YOU ARE WORKING WITH. FOLLOW
