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. 
 
Under normal circumstances this unit is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures 
between 5
and 40
C and no greater than 80% Relative Humidity. The supply voltage should
not vary by more than 10% from the data plate rating. Customer service should be contacted 
for operating conditions outside of these limits. 
 
3.1 
Power: The power source must match the voltage, cycle, phase and ampere 
requirements listed on the data plate (located on the back side of the oven). This unit 
is intended for 50/60 HZ operation. Make sure your power source matches that shown 
on the data plate. VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT VARY BY MORE THAN 10% FROM 
THE DATA PLATE RATING. Note that the electrical supply to the unit must conform 
to all national and local electrical codes. 
 
3.2 
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 30 cm between the unit and surrounding 
walls or partitions that might obstruct free airflow. 
 
3.3 
Leveling: The unit must sit level and solidly. The oven is equipped with non-
adjustable rubber feet to raise it off the counter and prevent sliding; however, the 
counter must be level to provide optimum working and safety conditions. 
 
3.4 
Cleaning: The oven was cleaned at the factory. DO NOT USE chlorine-based 
bleaches or abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the ovens interior surfaces. DO 
NOT USE spray cleaners that might leak through openings and cracks and get on 
electrical parts or that may contain solvents that will harm coatings. A regular periodic 
cleaning is recommended. 
 
WARNING: Never clean the unit with alcohol or flammable cleaners with the unit connected 
to the electrical supply. Always disconnect the unit from the electrical service when cleaning 
and assure all volatile or flammable cleaners are evaporated and dry before reattaching the 
unit to the power supply.
