Peak Ovens
2.0 I NSTALLATION
2.1 Unpacking & Handling
Remove the shelves and runners from the packaging before attempting to move the equipment.
Lift the unit by its base. The door should not be used to support the equipment when moving it.
Use two people to carry the oven where possible. Remove any packing material from the inner
chamber before use.
NOTE: This product contains Refractory Ceramic Fibre (better described as Alumino Silicate
Wool) for precautions and advice in handling this material see the ‘Repairs and Replacements’
section.
2.2 Siting & Setting Up
Place the oven on a level surface. If overtemperature protection is not fitted, ensure that the unit
can be directly observed.
Ensure that there is at least 50mm free space behind and around the oven. There are vents in the
back that must not be obstructed. Some models have protruding fan motor housings: these
housings must be in an area of good ventilation.
Ensure that the oven is placed in such a way that it can be quickly switched off or disconnected
from the electrical supply - see below.
Except 800 litre models: The ends of the runners should be inserted into
the vertical columns of holes simultaneously at the front and the back. The
bar should then be rotated through 90° in a downwards direction to secure
it in place. The shelves slide onto the runners such that the spurs on the
lower side of the shelf are under the bar at the back; this prevents the shelf
from tilting forwards when partially withdrawn.
2.3 Electrical Connections
Connection by a qualified electrician is recommended.
All ovens covered by this manual may be ordered for single phase A.C. supply, which may be Live
to Neutral non-reversible, Live to Neutral reversible or Live to Live. Model PF400 can be supplied
for use on two phases out of a three phase with neutral supply - one phase is left unused. Model
PF800 can be supplied for use on a three phase supply.
Check the oven rating label before connection*. The supply voltage should agree with the voltage
on the label, and the supply capacity should be sufficient for the amperage on the label.
The supply should be fused at the next size equal to or higher than the amperage on the label. A
table of the most common fuse ratings is also given in section 8.1 of this manual. Where a supply
cable is present there are internal supply fuses; customer fusing is preferred but not essential.
Oven with supply cable: either wire directly to an isolator or fitted with a line plug.
Oven without supply cable: a permanent connection to a fused and isolated supply should be made
to the internal terminals after temporary removal of the back panel.
Connection by line plug: the plug should be within reach of the operator, and should be quickly
removable.
Connection to isolating switch: this should operate on both conductors (single phase) or on all live
conductors (three phase), and should be within reach of the operator.
