Safety
Although the gravity and mechanical convection ovens rely on different
methods of air circulation, general loading procedures are applicable to
both types and must be followed. It is important for uniformity and
recovery that air circulation within the chamber is not restricted.
1. At least 1" (2.5 cm) should be left between objects placed on the
shelves.
Note
Within the mechanical convection cabinets, objects should not be
placed on the shelves in such a manner to block the movement of heated
air into the chamber from the sidewall diffuser panels.

2. The bottom floor of the chamber must be kept free and clear of objects
and never used as a shelf.
3. At no time should solid shelves be substituted for the shelves that are
provided. Additional shelves and shelf supports are available from
Thermo.
1. DO NOT place any explosive, combustible or flammable materials in
this chamber.
2. DO NOT place sealed containers in the chamber. Sealed containers,
filled with materials, do not provide room for expansion or evaporation
and can develop dangerous vapor pressure as the temperature increases.
3. Avoid placing plastic materials in the oven. Extreme temperatures may
cause plastics to melt, posing a fire hazard. If plastics are placed in the
oven, do not leave the oven unattended.
4. Avoid spillage of liquids or powders within the chamber. Clean all spills
as soon as possible. Use caution if oven is still hot.
5. DO NOT evaporate noxious or poisonous fumes.
6. These ovens are not intended for food service or the preparation of
meals.
Caution
DO NOT store containers filled with acidic or caustic solutions
within the chamber, as vapors from these materials will attack the chamber
interior and electrical components, thus voiding the warranty.

Warning
Explosion, implosion or the release of toxic or flammable gases
arising from material being heated is the sole responsibility of the user.
