INSTALLATION

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 Source: The power source must match the voltage, cycle, phase, and
ampere requirements listed on the data plate. This unit is intended for 50/60 HZ
application. Plug the cord into a grounded outlet. THE VOLTAGE OF THE
OUTLET SHOULD NOT VARY MORE THAN 10% FROM THE DATAPLATE
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 unit, consider conditions that may affect
performance, such as heat from radiators, ovens, autoclaves, etc. Avoid direct sun,
fast-moving air currents, heating/cooling ducts, and high-traffic areas. To ensure air
circulation around the unit, allow a minimum of 5cm between the unit and any walls
or partitions that might obstruct free airflow.

3.3 Lifting / Handling: This unit is heavy and care should be taken to use appropriate
lifting devices sufficiently rated for such loads. Please see section 10, for weight
specifications. The unit should only be lifted from the bottom surface. Doors,
handles and knobs are not adequate for lifting or stabilization. The unit should
be completely restrained from tipping during lifting or transport. All moving parts
such as shelves should be removed to prevent shifting and damage. The doors
should be positively locked in the closed position during transport.

3.4 Leveling: The unit must sit level and solidly. The Model 1400E has four rubber feet
that are already attached to the unit and are not adjustable; however, the counter
top must be level for maximum working and safety conditions.

3.5 Cleaning: The oven has been cleaned at the factory, but not sterilized and should
be disinfected prior to use. Remove all shelving if assembled and clean the
