INSTALLATION
Installation of the unit requires permanent connect wiring (commonly known as hardwiring) and
should be performed by a qualified electrical technician. All other steps can be performed by the
end user.
This oven is intended for use indoors, at room temperatures between
15
C and 30
C (59
F and
86
F)
, at no greater than
80% Relative Humidity
(at 25
C / 77
F). Allow a minimum of
12 inches
(30cm)
between the oven and any walls or partitions, as well as
12 inches (30cm)
of vertical
headspace clearance above the top of the oven for unobstructed airflow and cooling.
Operating the unit outside of these conditions may adversely affect the temperature range
and stability.
For conditions outside of those listed above, please contact your distributor or
Sheldon Sales to explore other oven options suited to your laboratory or production environment.
L
OCATION
When selecting a location to install the oven, consider all environmental conditions that can affect
unit’s effective temperature range, uniformity, and stability. For example:
Other ovens, autoclaves, and any device that produces significant radiant heat
Heating and cooling ducts, or other sources of fast moving air currents
High-traffic areas
Direct sunlight
L
IFTING AND
H
ANDLING
The oven is heavy. Use appropriate lifting devices that are sufficiently rated for these loads. Follow
these guidelines when lifting the oven:
Lift the oven only from its bottom surface.
Doors, handles, and knobs are not adequate for lifting or stabilization.
Restrain the oven completely while lifting or transporting so it cannot tip.
Remove all moving parts, such as shelves and trays, and lock doors in the closed position
during transfers to prevent shifting and damage.
L
EVELING
Make sure that the oven is level and stable. Each SMO oven ships with four leveling feet. Insert
one leveling foot into each of the four holes in the bottom corners of the oven. Stand the oven
upright. Then, adjust the foot at each corner until the oven stands level and solid without rocking.
To raise a foot, turn it in a counterclockwise direction; to lower a foot, turn it in a clockwise direction.
Note:
To prevent damage when moving the oven, turn each of the four leveling feet completely
clockwise.
