INSTALLATION
Installation of an SMO5HP-2 requires permanent connect wiring (commonly known as hardwiring),
and must be performed by a qualified electrical technician. All other installation steps can be
performed by the end user.
A MBIENT C ONDITIONS
This oven is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures between 15

C and 40

C (59

F and
104

F), at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity (at 25

C / 77

F). Allow a minimum of 12 inches
(30cm) between the oven and any walls or partitions, and 24 inches (60cm) of vertical headspace
clearance above the top of the oven for unobstructed airflow and cooling.
If the oven’s exhaust will
be vented from the workspace through a duct or other channeling, 12 inches (30cm) of vertical
clearance will suffice. Make sure the intake and exhaust vent remain unobstructed. Do not place
objects on top of oven, aside from the power exhaust accessory described in the manual.
Operating the unit outside these conditions may adversely affect the oven’s temperature
range, uniformity, and stability.
For conditions outside of those listed above, please contact your distributor or Shel Lab Sales to
explore other ovens suited to your production of laboratory environment.
L
OCATION
When selecting a location to install the oven, consider all conditions that can affect temperature
performance. For example:
 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
L IFTING AND H ANDLING
The oven is heavy. Use appropriate lifting devices that are sufficiently rated for these loads. Follow
these guidelines when lifting the oven:
 Lift the oven only from its bottom surface.
 Doors, handles, and knobs are not adequate for lifting or stabilization.
 Restrain the oven completely while lifting or transporting so it cannot tip.
 Remove all moving parts, such as shelves and trays, and secure the door in the closed
position during transfers to prevent shifting and damage.
