INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATING A DESPATCH ELECTRIC
OVEN WITH AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
(MODEL LAC1-33)
Remove all packing from inside oven. Attach pressure sensitive adhesive rubber feet to bottom
of oven. Install shelf clips inside work chamber.
The twelve-prong plug at the rear of the oven is wired for 120/240 dual voltage operation. The
operating voltage of the oven is determined by the internal wiring of the power cord socket. The
correct power cord for customer's operating voltage is shipped with each new oven. To convert
oven from one voltage to the other, purchase power cord wired for the desired voltage from
Despatch Industries.
See additional instructions regarding operation of control instrument.
To set oven into operation, turn control switch to low or high, whichever position will provide
sufficient heater capacity for operation at desired operating temperature. Heater capacity is 900
and 1800 watts, respectively, for low and high positions. Recirculating fan should rotate in
direction indicated by arrow. Control instrument will cycle heater on and off to maintain desired
operating temperature. The red pilot light goes on and off with control instrument.
There are fresh air and exhaust dampers located on the back of the oven. These dampers are
controlled by knobs on the front of the oven. To open damper, pull knob out.
To shut oven down, turn control switch off.
When placing material in oven, allow maximum amount of air space around the various parts
being processed. This will tend to equalize the temperature throughout the oven chamber.
Any other information pertaining to the care or operation of this oven will be gladly furnished upon
request.
