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 5and
40C, at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity (at 25C) 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 Source: The electrical supply circuit to the oven must conform to all national and local
electrical codes. Consult the oven’s serial data plate for the voltage, cycle wattage and ampere
requirements before making connection. VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT VARY MORE THAN 10%
FROM THE SERIAL PLATE RATING. This unit is intended for 50/60 Hz application. A separate
circuit is recommended to prevent possible loss of product due to overloading or failure of other
equipment on the same circuit.
3.2 Location: When selecting a site for the oven, consider all conditions which may affect
performance, such as extreme heat from steam radiators, stoves, ovens autoclaves, etc. Avoid
direct sun, fast-moving air currents, heating/cooling ducts, and high traffic areas. To ensure air
circulation around the unit allow a minimum of 30 cm between any walls or partitions and the unit
which 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 or 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 Model 1470 has rubber feet that are already
attached to the unit and are not adjustable. Leveling feet are supplied with Models 1480 and
1490, and must be installed in the four holes in the bottom corners of the unit. With the unit
standing upright, turn the leveling foot counterclockwise to raise the level of that corner. Adjust
the leveling foot at each corner until the unit stands solid and level. If the unit must be moved,
turn the leveling feet in all the way (clockwise) to prevent damage while moving.
3.5 Cleaning: The oven interior was cleaned at the factory, but not sterilized. Remove shelves and
shelf clips and clean with a disinfectant that is appropriate for your application. DO NOT USE
chlorine-based bleaches or abrasives as they will damage stainless steel 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 the coatings. A similar 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 form the electrical service when cleaning and assure all
volatile or flammable cleaners are evaporated and dry before reattaching the unit to the power
supply.
3.5 Shelves: See Figure 1 for proper orientation of shelves within the individual model chambers.
DO NOT place items directly on the floor of the chamber.
