1.7.4 Safety instructions on operating the vacuum drying oven
Note the following points before starting up the oven:

When loading the chamber and possibly at the moment of unloading, also in the context of
intended use, an explosive mixture may form in the working space. Define a safety area of
at least 1m from the chamber front and ensure active extraction (technical ventilation).

The walkable installation and operating surface of the chamber must be conductive. This
installation and operating surface must be connected to the vacuum drying oven according
to the grounding concept. Cyclic measurements of the equipotential bonding are required.

The operator must ensure an appropriate ventilation of the loading area in front of the ov-
en front prior to commissioning of the chamber.

Ensure that at no time any solvent vapors could enter in the area of the electrical installa-
tion room and the operating panel.

Provide technical ventilation in the area of the vacuum pump stand, particularly in the areas
of the condensate catchpot (when emptying it) and the exhaust air of the vacuum pump.

The personal protective equipment (PPE) of the operating personnel must be ESD pro-
tected.

Only trained personnel with password authorization may work on the VDL vacuum drying
oven.
