INSTALLATION

Section

3

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 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 30 cm 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 non­adjustable 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 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

Section

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 and 50 minor 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

4.5 Over Temperature light: This red pilot light is marked OVERTEMPERATURE

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.

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.
