WARNING:

 

Hot  Surface  At  the  higher 

temperatures,  the  exterior  of  the  oven  and 
particularly  the  thermometer  vent  ring  on  the  top 
become  uncomfortably  warm  to  the  touch.  To 
avoid burns, do not touch these surfaces.  
 

6  Safety Features

 

 

The  Koehler  K8853X  Air  Release  Value 

Instrument  is  equipped  with  several  safety  and 
protection  features,  which  are  described  in  the 
following sections. 
 

WARNING:

 The K8853X Air Release Value 

Instrument is 

NOT

 Explosion Proof.  

 

6.1  Over-Temperature Protection

 

 
The  Koehler  K8853X  Air  Release  Value 

Instrument  is  equipped  with  Over-temperature 
Protection (OTP) circuitry, which prevents the unit 
from  exceeding  unsafe  operating  temperatures.  If 
the unit cannot maintain the set point temperature 
and begins to decline, the OTP circuitry may have 
been activated. Please follow these steps. 

 

1.  Turn off the unit  power switch and disconnect 

the line cord. 
 

2.  Determine  the  source  of  the  problem  and 

correct the situation. 
 

3.  Restart  the  unit.  Monitor  the  operations  to 

ensure  that  the  unit  is  operating  properly.  If 
you  are  still  experiencing  trouble,  please 
contact 

Koehler 

technical 

service 

for 

assistance. 

 
 

6.2  Over-Power Protection

 

 
The  Koehler  K8853X  Air  Release  Value 

Instrument is equipped with Over-power Protection 
circuitry,  which  prevents  the  unit  from  unsafe 
electrical  conditions.  If  power  to  the  unit  is  lost, 
then  turn  off  the  main  power  and  turn  it  back  on 
again. The main power switch also functions  as a 
circuit breaker. 

 

7  Maintenance

 

 

WARNING:

 

Disconnect  power  to  the  unit 

before  servicing  to  avoid  exposure  to  high 
voltages  and/or  temperatures  which  may  result  in 
personal injury or death. If you have any questions 
about maintaining your equipment, then please do 
not  hesitate  to  contact  the  Koehler  technical 
service department. 
 

7.1  Routine Maintenance

 

 

The  K8853X  Air  Release  Value  Instrument 

requires little routine maintenance to provide many 
years  of  continuous  service.  However,  over  the 
course  of  time,  some  instrument  parts  may  need 
to  be  replaced.  When  ordering  replacement 
part(s),  please  provide  the  model  number,  serial 
number,  and  product  shipment  date  of  your 
equipment so that  we can  ensure  you  will receive 
the proper replacement part(s). 
 

7.2  Instrument Cleaning

 

 

 

To  clean  the  instrument’s  exterior,  which 
includes all painted surfaces,  either a solution 
of  soap  and  water  or  laboratory  grade 
detergent may be used.  

 

  Apply cleaner to clean wipe or cloth, not to the 

instrument directly. Wipe surface clean. 

 

 

Do  Not

  clean  bath  exterior  with  organic 

chemicals such as Acetone, Toluene, Hexane, 
etc.  

 

  For more difficult cleaning of finished surfaces, 

a  dilute  solution  or  isopropanol  in  water  may 
be used. 

 

  It  is  not  recommended  that  more  aggressive 

solvents  be  used  on  painted  surfaces  since 
paint color  will  tarnish  or  be  stripped  from  the 
instrument.  

 

  The  drip  pan  is  removable  for  easy  cleaning 

and should be emptied as needed.
