User Manual Limitation 

This manual is designed to provide general information as it relates to the safe operation and 

understanding of the vacuum oven. It does not cover all possible applications and use. Cascade 

Sciences will not be held liable or responsible for damages resulting from the use of this manual or 

the vacuum oven. 

 

 

Power Cord Plug-In Location Requirement 

CVO-5-EX-SS ovens that come with power cords must plug into a power outlet located safely 

outside of the hazardous location zone the oven will be installed in. This is to prevent the possibility 

of sparking in the presence of potentially explosive concentrations of hazardous gases or vapors. 

The outlet must also meet the other electrical safety requirements described in this manual. The 

supplied power cord is 15-feet long (4.6 meters). 

 

 

Hardwire Connection Location Requirements 

CVO-5-EX-SS ovens with hardwire power feeds may be wired to a power source inside the 

hazardous location Zone. However, this connection must meet all applicable electrical safety 

standards requirements Zone 2 or Class 1 Zone 2 or Class 1 Division 2 hazardous (classified) 

locations. Additionally, the connection must be made by a qualified electrical service technician who 

is competent to work in the hazardous location zone and with these equipment types.
