Safety and Regulatory Information
Intended Use
This unit is for professional, industrial, or educational use, where the preparation or
testing of materials is done at approximately atmospheric pressure and no flammable,
volatile, or combustible materials are being heated. This unit is not intended for
hazardous or household use.
Important Safety Warnings
There are several important safety notices that you should always keep in mind when
using the Hybridization Oven.
Many internal parts of the instrument carry dangerous voltages
If the oven is connected to a power source, even if the power switch is off, potentially
dangerous voltages exist on: • the wiring between the oven power cord and the AC
power supply • the AC power supply itself • the wiring from the AC power supply to the
power switch With the power switch on, potentially dangerous voltages also exist on: • all
electronics boards in the oven • the internal wires and cables connected to these boards
All these parts are shielded by covers. With the covers in place, it should
be difficult to accidentally make contact with dangerous voltages. Unless
specifically instructed to, never remove a cover.
If the power cord insulation is frayed or worn, the cord must be replaced.
Contact your customer service representative.

Symbols
Warnings in the manual or on the oven must be observed during all phases of operation,
service, and repair of this oven. Failure to comply with these precautions violates safety
standards of design and the intended use of the oven. Sheldon Manufacturing, Inc.
assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.
See accompanying instructions for further description or discussion of a control or user
item.

Installation
Prepare the Site
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.
The end user may perform installation, as it is unnecessary for this unit to be installed by
a technician.
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 (located on the top back panel of the oven)
for the voltage, cycle wattage, and ampere requirements before connecting to power. A
separate circuit is recommended to prevent possible loss of product due to overloading
or failure of other equipment on the same circuit. The supply voltage should not vary by
more than 10%.
Environment
Under normal circumstances, this unit is intended for use indoors at room temperatures
between 15 °C and 35 °C, and relative humidity between 15%–85%. Contact Customer
Service if operating in conditions outside of these limits.
Location
In selecting a location, consider all conditions that might affect performance, such as
heat from radiators, ovens, autoclaves, etc. Avoid direct sun, fast moving air currents,
heating/cooling ducts, and high-traffic areas. Allow a minimum of 5 cm (2.0 in) between
the unit and walls or partitions, as they may obstruct free air flow.
Please read this manual before attempting to install the oven.
