Assembling the Oven

1. Position the unit in its ultimate operating location, keeping a minimum of two inches of space around the  

 

    unit and ten inches of space above the unit.

2.  Place the removable drip tray on the bottom of the oven. (Figure 1)

3.  Push the ends of the wire shelf brackets into the holes until the first bend is against the wall.
     Then rotate the bracket down. (Figure 2) 

4.  Place the adjustable shelves on top of the brackets. (Figure 3)

5.  Plug the Desert Chamber into a properly grounded receptacle 
     (either 115 volt or 230 volt, depending upon the model).

Electrical Precautions

Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical equipment.

• 

Do not immerse cord or plug in water. 

• 

Unplug the instrument when not in use and before cleaning. 

• 

Do not operate the instrument with a damaged cord or plug. 

• 

Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

Important Note

The oven temperature has been calibrated at the factory and should not be adjusted by the end-user.
If any problems arise with the oven, call Biocare Medical for technical service at 800-799-9499.

Maintenance

The Desert Chamber Pro oven is designed to be virtually maintenance-free. However, the oven does require periodic cleaning and 
chamber temperature accuracy verification in order to maintain operational and safety standards. Periodically check the rear air intake 
vents for dirt or dust build-up. Keep the intake and exit ports clear of obstruction and free of dust and dirt. Once a year, check the 
actual oven chamber temperature against a known accurate temperature measurement device. To clean exterior and interior surfaces, 
use a damp cloth with an all-purpose cleaner. Avoid commercially available oven cleaners.
