7.) OPERATIONAL SAFETY
.
Safe operation of your new oven is mandatory. As manufacturer of your oven, we at Thermcraft,
Inc. have adhered to all known safety standards and strongly suggest you install your oven in
accordance with national electric and fire protection codes. Do not exceed the electrical and
temperature rating printed on the oven rating plate.
It is important to pay particular attention to those regulations that are applicable to the
specific governing operations entities including, but not limited to legislated and accredited
national and local industry standards and the type of facility in which the oven will be employed,
including zoning requirements, local building codes, and local electrical codes.
SYMBOLS USED ON THE EQUIPMENT
Caution: risk of electric shock.
Caution: hot surface.
Caution: refer to accompanying documents.
The potential for electric shock is always present when electrically operated equipment is
in use. The following suggestions are recommended for your protection:
1.
Before beginning service / maintenance procedures on your oven, the power source must
be locked out and tagged out per Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
regulations.
2.
Insure the oven is properly grounded and electrically protected. Grounding lugs and
ground wires have been installed prior to shipment. The ground wire will terminate within
the external terminal box and is visible to the installer / operator. If unsure of the
grounding status of the equipment, consult the NEC (National Electric Code) or a
licensed professional.
3.
If electrically conductive material is to be heat treated, the operator must be protected
from becoming a conductor to the ground. To avoid electric shock observe the following
operating practices:
a.
Wear insulated gloves specific to the task that guard against electric shock if the
operator will be in contact with an electric current.
b.
When using any metallic instrument to introduce items into the oven, insure the
handle is properly insulated and the instrument is adequately grounded.
c.
Install rubber mats in front of and behind the equipment to protect the operator.
CAUTION:
If this equipment is used in a manner other than described in this
manual, protection provided by the equipment may be compromised or impaired.
To preclude hazard and minimize risk, follow all instructions and operate within
the design limits noted on the rating plate.
Do not use components or materials not specifically designed for this equipment.
Failure to comply with this precaution could result in damage to the equipment
used or the oven and may create an overheat situation. Also, do not use anything
other than OEM exact replacement parts. Not using OEM replacement parts
could cause faulty instrumentation readings, inoperative equipment, or a
temperature overshoot.
Avoid combustible product which generate toxic or hazardous vapor or fumes.
Work should be done in a properly vented environment.
Observe the following precautions:
