3. 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. It is unnecessary for this unit
to be installed by a technician.
Under normal circumstances this unit is intended for use inside, at room tempera-
tures between 5°C 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.
Power Source
The electrical supply to the unit must conform to all national and local electrical
codes. The power source must match the voltage, cycle, phase and ampere require-
ments listed on the data plate (located just above the power cord on the back side of
the oven) This unit is intended for 50/60 HZ application. Make sure your power
supply matches that shown on the data plate. 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.
Location
When selecting a site for the oven, consider conditions that may effect performance,
such as heat or cold from air vents, fast moving air currents, other ovens, autoclaves,
direct sun, etc. Avoid high traffic areas that may reduce accessibility to the oven and
allow at least 5 cm between the unit and surrounding walls or partitions that might
obstruct free airflow.
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 bot-
tom surfaces. Doors, handles, and knobs are not adequate for lifting or stabilization.
The unit should be completely restrained from tipping during lifting and 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 dam-
age.
Leveling
The unit must sit level and solidly. The oven is equipped with non-adjustable rub-
ber feet to raise it off the counter and prevent sliding; however, the counter must be
level to provide optimum working and safety conditions.
