Positioning and levelling
1. The unit should be placed on a hard surface in a dry airy place with low relative air
humidity (maximum 60% RH, no condensation). The ambient temperature should
b10°C and +28°C.
2. The unit should not be placed in direct sunlight or near energy sources.
3. The unit has not been designed to operate in highly dusty environments.
4. Once the unit is positioned, it will require levelling. Use a spirit level to level the unit.
5. The unit should be placed at least 100mm away from the wall.
6. The unit should have a 300mm gap between the top of the unit and the ceiling.
7. The unit must not be built in.
8. The power cord at the rear is to be kept way from the exhaust outlet. The exhaust
outlet will be hot during operation – do not touch.
Prior to switching on the unit
1. The wire racks are supplied inside the chamber and wrapped with their runners.
Remove them prior to switching the unit ON.
2. Install the runners into the slots provided into the walls of the chamber. Ensure that
the wire racks are positioned horizontally and are secure before loading.
3. The loading weight must not exceed 10kg per shelf.
4. Ensure that the vessels or the objects being heated are evenly spread across the
wire shelves for even airflow and heating. Do not position samples near the side
walls or the door of the chamber. For consistency, it is recommended to have a
50mm gap.
NOTE:
During the first few days of use, it is normal for odours to persist as the
components are commissioned. Use the unit in a well-ventilated area.
