3. 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. It is unnecessary for this unit
to be installed by a technician.
Under normal circumstances this unit is intended for use inside, at room temperatures between 5°C 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.
Power Source
The electrical supply to the unit must conform to all national and local electrical
codes. 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) This unit is intended for 50/60 HZ application. Make sure your power
supply matches that shown on the data plate. The voltage of the outlet should not
vary more than 10% from the dataplate rating. A separate circuit is recommended
to preclude loss of product due to overloading or circuit failure.
Location
When selecting a site for the oven, consider conditions that may effect 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 5 cm between the unit and surrounding walls or partitions that might
obstruct free airflow.
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.
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.

4.0 Control Panel Overview
Power
The main power I/O (on/off) switch controls all power to the oven. It must be in
the I, or ON position, and illuminated before any systems are operational.
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 and 50
minor increments. The increments can be used as index points for setting and
returning to set point temperatures.
Heating Lamp
A green pilot light marked Heat Activated illuminates when the heating element has
been activated and is heating. When set point is reached the pilot light will cycle on
and off as the elements maintain the set temperature.

5.0 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.
• In most applications, the exhaust damper will need to be open during drying or
degassing for best results.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not place sealed or filled containers in the oven chamber.
• This oven is NOT designed for use in Class I, II, or III locations as defined by the
National Electrical Code.
• This oven is not intended, nor can it be used, as a patient connected device.

6.0 Operation
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.
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.
6.1
Setting Main Temperature
Place the reference thermometer through the exhaust port on top of the unit; a clip is
provided with your accessory package. See Figure 3.
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.

7.2
Problem Solution
Temperature too high 1) Controller set too high
2) Controller failed on – call Customer Service.
3) Wiring error – call Customer Service.
Chamber temp spikes over Recalibrate
set point and then settles
to set point
Temperature too low 1) Thermostat set too low
2) Controller set too low
3) Unit not recovered from door opening – wait
for heating indicator to turn off
4) Unit not recovered from power failure or being
turned off – oven will need 1 hour to warm
up and stabilize
5) Element failure – see if heating indicator is on;
compare current draw to data plate
6) Controller failure – confirm with front panel light
that controller is calling for heat
7) Thermostat failure – confirm with front panel
light that it is operating correctly
8) Wiring problem – check all functions and
compare wiring to schematic in section 11.0 especially around any areas recently worked on
9) Loose connection – call customer service

Problem Solution
Unit will not heat up at all 1) Verify that controller is asking for heat by looking
for heating indicator light – if pilot light is not
on continuously at initial start up, there is a
problem with the controller
2) Check amperage – amperage should be virtually
at maximum rated (data plate) amperage
3) Is the Thermostat set high enough? – for
diagnostics, should be fully clockwise with the
pilot light never on
4) Has the fuse/circuit breaker blown?
Chamber temperature 1) Is ambient room temperature radically changing
unstable; will not maintain – either door opening or room airflow from
set point heaters or air conditioning ? – stabilize
ambient conditions.
2) It may happen if exhaust stack is 100% open –
close exhaust stack.
3) Calibration sensitivity – call Customer Service
4) Thermostat set too low – be sure that it is more
than five degrees over desired set point; check
if pilot is on continuously; turn controller knob
completely clockwise to see if problem solved
then follow instructions in section 6.2 for
correct setting.
5) Assure that set point is at least 5 degrees over
ambient room temperature.
6) See if ambient is fluctuating
7) Verify that reference thermometer is certified.
