LEARANCES
•
Leave at least 12 inches (300 mm) of empty space between the top and back of the oven and
any walls or partitions for unobstructed airflow and cooling. Allow at least 6 inches (150 mm)
of ventilation on the sides.
o
Do not place objects on top of the oven .
o
Leave at least 6 inches (150mm) clearance between the fan on the back of the oven
and any partition or obstruction.
o
A KF-25 vacuum port is located on the back of the oven for introducing potted
(sealed) probes into the chamber or connecting to an external vacuum supply source.
Leave sufficient clearance for operators to safely access this port if you will be using
it.
o
The cabinet that the oven comes mounted in contains mounting bolts, a NEMA 6-20R
power outlet, and a KF-25 vacuum port. These can be used to mount a vacuum pump
in the cabinet, power the pump, and plumb it to the oven chamber. Vacuum port
controls and a power switch control an internally mounted vacuum pump.
