3.2 Guidelines for safe lifting and transportation
After operation, please observe the guidelines for temporarily decommissioning the unit (chap. 17.2).
CAUTION
Sliding or tilting of the unit.
Damage to the unit.
Risk of injury by lifting heavy loads.

Transport the unit in its original packaging only.
 For moving or shipping, secure the oven with transport straps.
∅ Do NOT lift or transport the unit using the door, the handle, or the lower housing.
 Lift units size 23 and 53 at the four lower corners with the aid of 4 people.
 Lift units size 115 with the aid of 6 people.
• Permissible ambient temperature range during transport: -10 °C / 14°F to +60 °C / 140°F.
You can order transport packing for moving or shipping purposes from BINDER Service.
3.3 Storage
Intermediate storage of the unit is possible in a closed and dry room. Observe the guidelines for tempo-
rary decommissioning (chap. 17.2).
•
Permissible ambient temperature range during storage: -10 °C / 14°F to +60 °C / 140°F.
• Permissible ambient humidity: max. 70 % r.H., non-condensing
When after storage in a cold location you transfer the unit to its warmer installation site, condensation may
form. Before start-up, wait at least one hour until the chamber has attained ambient temperature and is
completely dry.
3.4 Location of installation and ambient conditions
Set up the VDL vacuum drying oven on a flat, even and non-flammable surface, free from vibration, in a
well-ventilated, dry location and align it using a spirit level. The site of installation must be capable of sup-
porting the unit’s weight (see technical data, chap. 19.2). The chambers are designed for setting up inside
a building (indoor use).
CAUTION
Danger of overheating.
Damage to the unit.
∅
Do NOT set up units in non-ventilated recesses.
 Ensure sufficient ventilation for dispersal of the heat.
• Permissible ambient temperature range during operation: +18 °C / 64°F to +32 °C / 90°F.
The ambient temperature should not be substantially higher than the indicated ambient tem-
perature of +25 °C / 77°F to which the specified technical data relate. Deviations from the indi-
cated data are possible for other ambient conditions.
• Permissible ambient humidity: 70 % r.H. max., non-condensing.
• Installation height: max. 2000 m / 6562 ft above sea level.
