INSTALLATION
Local city, county, or other ordinances may govern the use of this equipment. If you have
any questions about local requirements, please contact the appropriate local agency.
Installation may be performed by the end user.
Under normal circumstances this unit is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures
between 5°and 40°C, at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity ( at 25°C) and with a supply
voltage that does not vary by more than 10%. Customer service should be contacted for
operating conditions outside of these limits.
3.1 Power: The power source must match the voltage, cycle, phase and ampere
requirements listed on the data plate (located just above the power cord on the back
side of the oven). The unit is intended for 50/60 HZ application. Make sure your
power supply matches that shown on the data plate. VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT
VARY MORE THAN 10% FROM THE DATA PLATE RATING. A separate circuit is
recommended to preclude loss of product due to overloading or circuit failure. Note
that the electrical supply to the unit must conform to all national and local electrical
codes.
3.2 Location: When selecting a site for the oven, consider conditions that may affect
performance, such as heat or cold from air vents, fast moving air currents, other
ovens, autoclaves, direct sun, etc. Avoid high traffic areas that may reduce
accessibility to the oven and allow at least 10cm between the unit and surrounding
walls or partitions that might obstruct free airflow.
3.3 Lifting/Handling: These units are heavy and care should be taken to use appropriate
lifting devices that are sufficiently rated for these loads. Units should only be lifted
from their bottom surfaces. Doors, handles, and knobs are not adequate for lifting or
stabilization. The unit should be completely restrained from tipping during lifting and
transport. All moving parts, such as shelves and trays should be removed and doors
need to be positively locked in the closed position during transfer to prevent shifting
and damage.
3.4 Leveling: The unit must sit level and solidly. The oven is equipped with non-
adjustable rubber feet to raise it off the counter and prevent sliding; however, the
counter must be level to provide optimum working and safety conditions.
3.5 Cleaning: The oven was cleaned at the factory, but not sterilized. Remove all
interior parts, including shelves and shelf clips. If assembled and clean the inside of
the chamber thoroughly with a disinfectant that is appropriate for your application. DO
Sectio

NOT USE chlorine-based bleaches or abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the
ovens interior surfaces. DO NOT USE spray cleaners that might leak through
openings and cracks and get on electrical parts or that may contain solvents that will
harm coatings. A regular periodic cleaning is recommended.
WARNING: Never clean the unit with alcohol or flammable cleaners with the unit
connected to the electrical supply. Always disconnect the unit from the electrical
service when cleaning and assure all volatile or flammable cleaners are evaporated
and dry before reattaching the unit to the power supply.
3.6 Shelves: Place shelves in the chamber at desired position. See Figure 1.

CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW
Figure 2
4.1 Power Switch: The main power I/O (on/off) switch controls all power to the oven. It
must be in the I or ON position before any systems are operational.
4.2 Main Temperature Controller: Marked SET TEMPERATURE, this control is
equipped with an adjustment knob and a graduated dial. The graduated dial is
marked with 10 major increments. The increments can be used as index points for
setting and returning to set point temperatures.
4.3 HEATING light: This green pilot light is marked HEAT ACTIVATED and indicates
when the element has been activated and the oven is heating. When set point is
reached the pilot light will cycle on and off as the elements maintain the temperature
selected.
4.4 Over Temperature Thermostat: Marked SET OVERTEMPERATURE, this control is
completely independent of the Main Temperature control and is equipped with an
adjustment knob that requires a flat-edged tool when making adjustments to eliminate
accidental changes. It provides safety temperature protection for the oven. If for any
reason the oven temperature rises above the Main Temperature control’s set point,
the Over Temperature Thermostat will limit the rise to approximately 10°C above the
set point selected.
4.5 Over Temperature light: This red pilot light is marked OVERTEMPERATURE
ACTIVATED and is on when the Over Temperature Thermostat has been activated
and taken control of the elements. Under normal operating conditions this pilot light
should never be on.

PRECAUTIONS
This unit has been designed with a dampered vent from the chamber. In order to work
effectively and safely, some precautions will need to be taken by the operator.
5.1 In most applications, the exhaust damper will need to be open during drying or
degassing for best results.
5.2 THIS OVEN IS NOT AN EXPLOSION PROOF OVEN AND IS NOT DESIGNED TO
HANDLE COMBUSTIBLE GASSES. Do not place explosive, combustible or
flammable materials into the chamber.
5.3 Some of the out-gassed byproducts may be hazardous or unpleasant to operating
personnel. If this is the case, the exhausts should be positively ventilated to the
outside and dealt with according to local regulations. Your dealer can provide you
with a power exhaust that greatly helps under these applications.
5.4 Do not place sealed or filled containers in the oven chamber.
5.5 This oven is NOT designed for use in Class I, II, or III locations as defined by the
National Electrical Code.
5.6 This oven is not intended, nor can it be used, as a patient connected device.

OPERATION
6.1 Power Supply: The power supply must be properly grounded (earthed) and correctly
sized to match the unit data plate rating. The supply voltage must match the data
plate voltage within 10%. If supplied with a detachable cord set, plug the female end
into the inlet on the unit and the male plug into the supply. Assure that units requiring
a fuse have a fuse installed.
6.2 Push the power switch to the ON position and turn the Over Temperature Thermostat
to its maximum position, clockwise so it will not interrupt the setting of the Main
Temperature control.
6.3 Place the reference thermometer through the exhaust port on top of the unit; a clip is
provided with your accessory package. See Figure 3 on the following page.
6.4 Setting Main Temperature: The operating range for this oven is ambient room
temperature + 5°C to 200°C. To set the Main Temperature Controller turn the knob to
the desired oven temperature, using the graduated dial as a reference guide. Allow
one hour for the temperature to stabilize. Using the reference thermometer, verify the
oven temperature; if it is not at the desired value, turn the control knob up or down as
needed. Allow the temperature to re-stabilize, continuing the process until the exact
desired temperature is achieved.
Note: Slight vapor or smoke may occur in the initial heat-up. This is a normal
occurrence when the oven is first brought up to temperature and protective
coatings on the element become hot.
6.5 Setting Over Temperature: As stated in section 6.2, the Thermostat should be set to
its maximum position. Now turn the control knob counterclockwise just until the
OVERTEMPERATURE ACTIVATED light comes on. Next, slowly turn the control
knob clockwise just until the light goes off. Then turn the control knob clockwise two
(2) minor scale divisions past the point where the light went out. The Over
Temperature Thermostat should now be set at approximately 10°C above the Main
Temperature set point. Note that it is not recommended that the unit be allowed to
operate using the Over Temperature Thermostat as the temperature controller for an
extended period of time. See the Troubleshooting section if the Thermostat is
activated.
