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 circumstance 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
these limits.

3.1 Power Requirements: The unit power requirements are listed on the units data plate
located on the right front side of the oven. Make sure your power supply matches that
shown on the data plate. VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT VARY MORE THAN 10% FROM THE
DATAPLATE RATING. These units are intended for 50/60HZ application. A separate circuit
is recommended to preclude loss of product due to overloading or circuit failure.

3.2 Location: Select a site for the oven which is free from extreme heat, cold or excessive air
movement such as areas near steam radiators, stoves, other ovens, autoclaves, direct sun,
heating and cooling ducts, etc. Avoid high traffic areas which may reduce the accessibility to
the oven. Allow at least 30 cm of space between the oven and surrounding walls or
partitions which 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 lifting or stabilization. The unit
should be completely restrained from tipping during lifting or 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. Leveling feet (supplied) are to be installed in
the holes at the base of the oven. Turn them counterclockwise to raise the level and
clockwise to lower the level. If the unit must be moved, turn the leveling feet in all the way to
prevent damage.

3.5 Cleaning: The oven's interior was cleaned at the factory, but not sterilized. Remove all
interior parts if assembled and clean the inside of the chamber thoroughly with a disinfectant
that is suitable for your application. Make sure to rinse the cleaned surface with a damp
cloth, using water only, and dry the surfaces with a clean cloth. DO NOT USE chlorine­based bleaches or abrasives as they will damage the stainless steel surface. 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 the coatings. A similar 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 form 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 Burning In: It is recommended that the unit go through a “burning in” process prior to
operation. This is to eliminate the smoking of protective coatings on the element. Read
sections 4, 5 and 6 carefully to understand operating requirements. To burn in turn the
Overtemperature Safety to maximum and set the digital display to 200. Run for a minimum
of one hour under ventilation until smoke dissipates.

PRECAUTIONS

Section

4

4.1 The bottom surface of the chamber should not be used as a work
surface.

4.2 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.

A. In most applications, the exhaust damper will need to be opened

during drying or degassing for best results.

B. THIS OVEN IS NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE COMBUSTIBLE

GASSES AND IS NOT AN EXPLOSION PROOF UNIT. Do not
place explosive, combustible, or flammable materials into the
chamber.

C. Some of the out gassed by products 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 which greatly helps under these applications.

4.3 Do not operate near noxious fumes.

4.4 Do not place sealed or filled containers in the oven chamber.

4.5 Do not cut or remove the ground prong from the power cord.

4.6 Do not use a 2-prong adapter plug.

4.7 Be sure that the power supply is of the same voltage as specified.

4.8 Disconnect the unit from its electrical source before proceeding to make

any electrical repairs or replacements.

4.9 If a mercury thermometer is used for calibration and breakage should occur,
all spilled mercury MUST be completely removed from the chamber before
continuing operation.

4.10 This oven is NOT designed for the use in Class I, II, or III locations as
defined by the National Electric Code.

4.11 This oven is not intended, nor can it be used, as a patient connected

device.

CONTROL PANEL OVERVIEW

Section

5

5.1 Power Switch: The main power switch on the control panel (green lighted
I/O) controls all power to the oven. It must be in the I/On position before
any systems are operational. The green pilot light in the switch will be
lighted when the switch is in the ON position.

5.2 Timer Switch: The black I/O power switch marked TIMER is located to the
right of the main power switch. It controls the power to the time circuit. In
the O/Off position the oven heat is controlled with no timed duration. In the
I/On position heat is controlled for a timed interval and then the heat shuts
off.

5.3 Overtemperature Safety Thermostat: This control is marked HIGH LIMIT
and is equipped with an adjustment knob and a graduated dial from 0 - 10.
It is independent of the Main Controller and guards against any failure
which would allow temperature to rise past the Main Controllers set point.
This allows continued operation of the oven until the problem can be
corrected or service can be arranged. It is not recommended that the unit
be operated for extended periods of time using only the Overtemperature
Safety as the temperature controller as temperature uniformity will suffer.

5.4 OTP Light: This pilot lamp is directly above the Overtemperature Safety

5.5 Timer Control: This control is marked SET/TIMER and consists of a digital

5.6 Main Temperature Controller: This control is marked

elements are receiving power.

OPERATION

Section

6

6.1 Connection to Power Supply: Assure that the electrical power supply is properly
configured and rated for the oven and plug the unit cord into the receptacle.

6.2 Push the main power switch to the On position. The digital temperature display will indicate
a temperature value. Turn the Overtemperature Safety Thermostat to its maximum position,
clockwise using a coin or flat head screwdriver.

6.3 Set The Main Temperature Control: To enter the desired set point temperature, press
either the UP or DOWN arrow pad one time on the SET/TEMPERATURE digital display.
The display will start to blink from bright to dim. While blinking, the display is showing the
temperature set point which can be changed by pushing the UP or DOWN arrow pads to
raise or lower the value. If the arrow pads are not pushed within five (5) seconds, the
display will stop blinking and return to read the chamber temperature. Allow several hours
for the temperature to stabilize.

6.4 Calibrate The Main Temperature Control: It is recommended that display is calibrated
once the unit is installed in its working environment and has been stabile at set point for
several hours. Place a reference thermometer through the damper tube at the top of the
unit adjacent to the exhaust port. Be certain the thermometer does not touch any shelving.
Allow again for the temperature to stabilize until five (5) consecutive readings at one minute
intervals show no temperature change. Compare the reading on the reference thermometer
with the digital display. If there is an unacceptable difference, put the display in calibrate
mode by pressing the UP and DOWN arrow pads at the same time until the decimal points
blink on and off. While blinking, the display can be changed to match the reference
thermometer by pushing the UP or DOWN arrow pads to raise or lower the temperature until
the display reads the correct value. If no arrow pads are pressed within five (5) seconds the
display will revert to displaying the temperature within the chamber.

NOTE: Temperature accuracy should be checked at least monthly or after the unit has been turned
off for an extended period of time.

6.5 Set The Overtemperature Safety Thermostat: The Overtemperature Safety should be

6.6 Set Timer Display: Turn the timer switch to the ON position. The SET/TIMER display

initially set to its maximum position when stabilizing the set point temperature. Once the
oven is stabile at the desired set point, turn the Overtemperature Safety counterclockwise
(using a coin or flat-head screwdriver) until the OTP light comes on. Next turn the Safety
clockwise just until the OTP light goes off. Then turn the Safety clockwise two (2) minor
increments on its scale past the point where the light went out. This sets the
Overtemperature Safety Control at approximately 10C above the Main Temperature set
point.

digits will light with no lighted decimals showing (See Figure 2). Note that, if during any of
the following steps, several seconds elapse with no arrow pad or reset pad activity, the timer
will default to the present displayed setting and it will be necessary to restart all functions
over again. The values must be programmed in a consecutive manner with no delays
between settings or the default will occur.

A. Hour Function: Press and hold the RESET pad until the digits start blinking and a

blinking decimal shows between digits 2 and 3. In this mode, pressing the UP or
DOWN arrow pads increases or decreases the whole hour value from 0 to 99
(digits 1 and 2).

B. Ten Minute Function: After the correct value for hours is set, push the RESET

pad again. The blinking decimal will now move one digit to the right between digits
3 and 4. Pushing the UP or DOWN arrow pads will increase or decrease the ten
minute function allowing values between 0 and 5 to be set (digit 3).

C. One Minute Function: After the correct ten minutes value is set, push the RESET

pad again. The blinking decimal point will move one digit to the right beyond digit 4
and be located at the extreme bottom right of the display. With the display in this
mode, pushing the UP or DOWN arrow pad will increase or decrease the one
minute function allowing the value of digit 4 to be adjusted between 0 and 9.

D. Activation: Pause until the timer stops blinking. After all settings are made, push

the START/STOP button. The Timer Activated light will come on and after a brief
pause, the present oven temperature settings will be valid and heating will begin.
The oven will now heat up, control at the set point and stop after the timed period on
the SET/TIMER display has elapsed.

Note that when the system is in the timer mode, the heating circuit is de-energized
until the START/STOP button is pushed or the TIMER SWITCH is turned Off. If a
time change or correction is necessary and the timer has already been activated,
push the START/STOP button to "STOP" the timer, then repeat steps A through D
above.

6.7 To set the timer so that timed operation will not start until the oven is stable at set point, pre-
heat the oven in the normal mode until the desired temperature has stabilized. Turn on the
timer switch. Push and hold the RESET button until the timer display blinks. (This is to be
sure that the pre-set timed value is correct). Press the START/STOP button to activate the
timer.
