Operating Environment Warnings
Do not store items on top of the cabinet as this will also affect ventilation! CAUTION: When installing
more than one cabinet in the same location ensure that they are positioned in such a way that warm air
exhausted from one cabinet, is not drawn directly into the other cabinet.
Drying ovens should be stored inside at all times. Failure to adhere to this could cause signicant drops
in cabinet performance and damage to items stored inside.
Drying ovens are not suitable for use with ammable solvents! They are tted with components that may
be the source of ignition.
The drying ovens are designed for large capacity drying, and hot moist air will be discharged.

Setup
Castors
The drying ovens are equipped with lockable castors to prevent
cabinet movement.
Castor Setup:
• Ensure that the drying oven is placed on an even and
at surface. Uneven surfaces can cause issues within
the cabinet. Uneven surfaces can cause the cabinet to
fall over or roll away with unlocked castors.
• Castors can be xed in place by pushing down on the
brake lever. Ensure the castors are locked to prevent
unwanted movement from the drying oven (Fig 1).
• Ensure when placing the drying oven into place that

Setup
Drying Oven Location
Location Requirements:
• The drying oven requires a level surface to operate
correctly. (Fig 1)
• Do not store items on top of the drying oven (Fig 2).
Space is required to accommodate the inlet and outlet
vents.
• The drying oven requires ventilation. Thermoline still
suggests 100mm on the sides and back that also aids
with accessibility (Fig 3). 300mm at the top to ensure
the inlet and outlet vent is not obstructed in any way.
• The drying oven door should also be allowed to open
and close at full range. (Fig 4)

Setup
Inlet and Exhaust
All drying ovens feature an inlet and an exhaust port on top of
the cabinet. The inlet regulates the amount of fresh (dry air)
that enters the cabinet and the outlet regulates the amount of
exhaust air that can exit the cabinet. In combination, this
regulates the rate of drying.
Exhaust Requirements:
• The top covers of the inlet and exhaust can be rotated
either way to open up the exhaust and allow airow
(Fig 2). The air vents are located on the top of the
cabinet. (Fig 1)
• On all drying ovens covered in this manual the exhaust
is on the left and in the inlet is on the right as you look
at the oven. Due to the location and number of fans in
the different models the location may differ slightly,
but they are still in this conguration. (Fig 3).
• The drying oven's vents can also be connected to a
ventilation system whether it is exhaust only or both
inlet and exhaust. To do so, you must rst remove the
vent covers (Fig 4).
• To prevent a potential pressure drop, please ensure
that the pipe is no smaller than 75mm in diameter for
proper ventilation (Fig 4).

Setup
Cleaning
The interior, exterior, and door gasket can be cleaned as often as required using a soft cloth and soapy water. Never use abrasive
cleaners or scouring pads as these will scratch the surface and may result in corrosion. Never use caustic type cleaning agents.
All cabinets have electrical components. Power should be turned off prior to cleaning. These items should not be subjected to any
levels of moisture.
Door Gasket
The door gasket should be cleaned regularly with a mild soap
solution. If a gasket is to be replaced, please contact
Thermoline Scientic. Regular inspection is recommended.
18

Setup
Port Hole
