INSTALLATION
ENVIRONMENTAL DISRUPTION SOURCES
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
POWER SOURCE REQUIREMENTS
When selecting a location for the oven, check that each of the following requirements is satisfied:
Power supply: The power supply must meet the power requirements listed on the oven data plate
(located on the back of the unit, beneath the power feed inlet.
• These ovens are intended for a 220 – 240 volt, 50/60 Hz applications at 26 amps.
• The power source must be single (1) phase and protective earth grounded.
• The power source must conform to all national and local electrical codes.
• Supplied voltage must not vary more than 10% from the data plate rating. Damage to the oven
may result if the supplied voltage varies more than 10%.
• Use a separate circuit to prevent loss of the unit due to overloading or circuit failure. The circuit
must meet or exceed the amperage requirements listed on the oven data plate.
Switch or circuit-breaker: A switch or circuit-breaker must be used in the building installation to protect
against overcurrent conditions involving the oven and its major components.
• The manufacturer recommended circuit-breaker is 30 amps.
Power feed disconnect: The oven must be positioned so that all operators have access to the power feed
disconnect in case of emergencies.
• The Disconnect must be in close proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the
operator.
• The Disconnect must be marked as the disconnecting device for the equipment.
Accessory Outlet fuses: The oven is also provided with a pair (2) of 2-amp fuses installed adjacent to
the external power receptacle used to power accessories.
• The fuses protect against overcurrent conditions related to the operation of any attached
accessories. If one fuse blows, the receptacle will depower. The cause of a blown fuse
should be determined prior to replacing it.
• These fuses do not provide protection against overcurrent events associated with major
components of the oven. Overcurrent protection for the oven must be set up in the location
power supply external to the unit. See the circuit breaker requirements above.
