PRECAUTIONS
5.1 The bottom surface of the chamber should not be used as a work
surface.
5.2 This unit has been designed with a dampered vent(s) from the chamber.
In order to work effectively and safely, some precautions will need to be
taken by the operator.
a. In most applications, the exhaust damper will need to be open
during drying or degassing for best results.
b. THIS OVEN IS NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE COMBUSTIBLE
GASSES, AND IS NOT AN EXPLOSION PROOF UNIT. Do not
place explosive, combustible, or flammable materials into the
chamber.
c. Some of the out gassed byproducts may be hazardous or
unpleasant to operating personnel. If this is the case, the exhaust
should be positively ventilated to the outside and dealt with
according to local regulations. Your dealer can provide you with a
power exhaust which greatly helps under these applications.

any electrical repairs or replacements.

breakage should occur, all spilled mercury MUST be completely removed
from the chamber before continuing operation.
