Safety Thermostat
Make sure the safety thermostat is always turned completely clockwise. If
the thermostat is loose, the unit will not heat up.
5.
To age without rolling, a folded shelf is provided for the containers to rest on.
6.
The use of a pressurized adapter with a hose (170-20, 171-22 and 171-26
and FNPT to hose adapter) to direct any residual pressure to a sink is
recommended.
Be careful in handling hot aging cells. Do not open cells while hot or
under pressure. Properly bleed off pressure and be sure the valve
stem is always pointed away from people or equipment.
Always wear personal safety equipment.
7.
If the timer is not used, the heat switch must be manually turned “Off”
after the sample has been heated to the required temperature for the
required time.
8.
Allow the power switch to remain on until the oven and sample have
cooled down to handling temperature. The temperature controller will
indicate the oven temperature as long as the heat switch is in the “On”
position. For faster cooling, open the oven door.
