Safety Precautions
The AFE Series lab ovens are not designed for use with any flammable solvents or gases or for
materials that may contain flammable solvents or gases. Use only a grounded outlet that is rated for
your model's electrical requirement. Oven exterior walls and doors may become hot to the touch
when operating at higher set temperatures. Do not leave the oven unattended during operation,
especially when processing materials that have flash point temperatures lower than the model oven's
maximum operating range. Do not modify the oven or control parameters to operate the oven above
the stated maximum operating temperature.
Set-up
Read Operating Instructions Thoroughly Prior to Operation
AB
Position unit in its ultimate operating location. Keep a
minimum of 2" of airspace around the unit and a minimum of
10" above the unit. Important: The exhaust ports should NOT
be used as chamber access for temperature-measuring
probes. Insertion of any such probe or device may damage
or unbalance the circulating fan blade at the top of the oven
chamber.
Install adjustable shelf by placing the ends of the wire shelf
bracket into the corresponding holes located on the inner
sides of the oven at the desired height. Push the ends of the
bracket into the holes until the first bends in the bracket are
against the wall, then rotate the bracket down. Place the
shelf on the brackets. (FIG 1)
FIG. 1
CD
Plug the unit into a grounded outlet for your unit's rated
voltage.
General Operation
The unit is ready for your immediate use. All control
parameters, calibration and tuning has been done at the
factory, no adjustments are necessary.
Push the illuminated power button. The fan motor will start.
All LED's on the temperature control will light up immediately
and display the current chamber temperature and the set
temperature.
Set temperature is constantly displayed in the lower rightÂhand corner of the display. To change the set temperature,
simply press either the up arrow key or the down arrow key,
until desired set temperature is reached (FIG 2). The
temperature control is set at the factory to read in 1/10
degree F or Fahrenheit units.
To change temperature units or display resolution, see Menu
Level Functions (page 3).
Once the unit nears the desired temperature allow the unit to cycle for 20 minutes at set point before
temperature becomes fully stable. NOTE: Upon each initial powering-up, the control may typically
overshoot the set temp by 3 or 4 degrees especially if the temperature set point is close to the
operating ambient temperature. After equilibrium is achieved the control will hold set temperature
within 1 unit degree.

Chamber Loading
Article processing times and temperature uniformity are largely dependent on load density and
positioning. Load the oven so that air circulation within the oven is not impaired. Here are some
general guidelines:
