Thank you for purchasing a Rampmaster equipped heat treating oven from Evenheat. The Rampmaster is preferred by many for heat treating as it allows
up to 12 custom user programs, numerical keypad and alarm features not found on our Set-Pro control. To dive right into programming see our Quick Start
Programming on page 2. For an in-depth discussion of programming check out Custom Mode Programming on page 6. Don’t forget to read the rest of the
manual! There are some very cool features that allow you to take full advantage of the Rampmaster and you don’t want to miss them.
CAUTION: The Rampmaster is used to control temperature, it is not a safety devise. Never leave the oven unattended while firing. Check on the oven at
the end of the heat treat process to ensure the heat treat program has completed as planned.
CAUTION: Throw control power switch, located on oven control panel, to the OFF position (O) when not in use.
