TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
Turn the power switch "ON". Turn the Temp.
Control knob fully clockwise. The "Heating"
indicator will glow when the unit is heating. When
the temperature reaches the desired operating
level (as indicated on the thermometer) turn the
Temp. Control knob counterclockwise until the
"Heating" indicator just turns off. Allow the
temperature to cycle on and off several times (3 to
4 hours) to make sure the oven has stabilized.
Adjust the Temp. Control knob up or down as
necessary.
Oven thermostats are set for operation at
temperatures over 100°C.
For control at lower temperatures, readjustment
of the thermostat may be necessary.
Two allen wrenches are required:
•
1/16" for the thermostat shaft
• 5/64" for the thermostat knob
1. Bring oven to room ambient.
2. Energize oven.
3. Set thermostat fully counter-clockwise (heat
lamp is on).
4. Remove thermostat knob. Note small allen
screw within shaft .
5. Turn shaft allen screw clockwise until lamp
goes out.
6. Attempt to control at the desired temperature.
7. It may be necessary to repeat this procedure.
NOTE
WHEN THE OVEN IS NEW AND IS FIRST HEATED,
THE INSULATION WILL BECOME SCORCHED AND
SOME SMOKE AND BURNING ODOR WILL OCCUR.
IT IS NORMAL FOR THIS CONDITION TO LAST 2
TO 3 HOURS AT HIGH HEAT.
VACUUM OPERATION
The following information serves as a guide to
operation of the vacuum system.
The total variable leak rate of the oven is 3 inches
of mercury per cubic foot per 24 hours at 29 to 26
inches of mercury.
Vacuum Sealing Agents
High vacuum silicone grease is often necessary
to provide a proper seal at tubing connections,
valve connections, door seals, etc. This is
especially important at high vacuums. However,
there are restrictions to using silicone grease,
depending upon the type of materials placed in the
oven. Refer to the maintenance section of this
manual for restrictions.
Out Gassing
The operation of the oven at high temperature while
evacuating the chamber will help drive off absorbed
gasses on the walls and other surfaces and
facilitate attainment of high vacuums.
Evacuating Chamber
Connect vacuum tubing to either hose connection
on top of vacuum oven. Turn on the vacuum pump,
then open the valve on the oven. Hold the door
closed until the vacuum begins to depress the door
seal. The vacuum gauge will indicate when the
desired pressure level is obtained. Once obtained,
close the valve, and turn off the vacuum pump. Air
may be bled into the chamber through the unused
valve to raise the pressure level.
NOTE
TO MAINTAIN AS LEAK PROOF A SYSTEM AS
POSSIBLE USE ONLY VACUUM PUMP TUBING.
MAKE SURE ALL CONNECTIONS ARE TIGHT. USE
A VACUUM PUMP SIZED TO ADEQUATELY
EVACUATE THE OVEN VOLUME.
CAUTION
VACUUM PUMPS SHOULD NEVER BE TURNED OFF
WHILE CONNECTED TO A SYSTEM UNDER
VACUUM. OIL BACK UP INTO THE LINES AND
SYSTEM WILL OCCUR NECESSITATING
EXTENSIVE CLEAN UP.
