OPERATION
6.1
Power Supply: The power supply must be properly grounded (earthed) and correctly
sized to match the unit data plate rating. The supply voltage must match the data
plate voltage within 10%. When the cord is plugged into the supply, the green CYCLE
COMPLETED light should turn ON.
6.2
Insert the catalyst to be baked into the opening and insert it all the way. Do NOT
force! If you experience resistance sliding the catalyst into the oven, your catalyst
holder may be deformed. Contact customer service.
6.3
Press and release the START switch to begin the baking cycle. The green CYCLE
COMPLETED light should turn OFF and the red HEATING light should turn ON. From
this point, the process is automatic.
Note: Slight vapor or smoke may occur during the baking cycle. This is a
normal occurrence. Used catalyst may contain a high concentration of moisture.
As the catalyst heats, this moisture evaporates.
6.4
The oven will maintain the catalyst approximately 180°C -210°C for five (5) hours. At
that time the element will turn off allowing the catalyst to cool. The red HEATING light
will remain ON while the catalyst temperature is above 40°C. When cooled
sufficiently, the red HEATING light will turn OFF and the green CYCLE COMPLETED
light will turn ON. The catalyst can now be removed and used. The oven is
immediately ready to bake another catalyst.
