INSTALLATION
REQUIRED AMBIENT CONDITIONS
When selecting a location to install the unit, consider all environmental conditions that can affect its
temperature performance. For example:
• Proximity to other ovens, autoclaves, and any device that produces significant radiant heat
• Heating and cooling ducts, or other sources of fast-moving air currents
• High-traffic areas
• Direct sunlight
This oven is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures between 59°F and 104°F (15°C and
40
°C), at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity (at 77°F / 25°C). Operating the unit outside of these
conditions may adversely affect its temperature range and stability.
REQUIRED VENTILATION CLEARANCES
This spacing is required for the oven to operate safely and meet its stated temperature specifications:
• 24 inches (610 mm) of headspace clearance is required between the exhaust vent and any
overhead cover or partition.
o 12 inches (305 mm) of vertical headspace clearance suffices if the oven exhaust is
vented from the workspace through a duct or other channeling.
• Do not place objects on top of the oven. Exception: A properly mounted power exhaust
blower.
• Allow at least 6 inches (152 mm) from the access port and fan vent on the back of the oven
to the nearest wall or partition. Keep the fan unobstructed at all times.
• The chamber access port is located on the back of the oven. Leave sufficient room for easy
access if oven operators will be using the port.
