2. RECEIVING AND INSPECTION
2.1
The carrier, when accepting shipment, also accepts responsibility for safe delivery and is liable
for loss or damage claims. On delivery, you must inspect for visible exterior damage. Note and
describe on the freight bill any damage found and enter your claim on the form the carrier
supplies.
2.2
Inspect for concealed loss or damage on the unit itself, both interior and exterior. If any, the
carrier will arrange for official inspection to substantiate your claim. Save the shipping crate until
you are sure the unit has been delivered in good condition.
2.3
If for any reason you must return the unit, contact your sales representative for authorization and
supply nameplate data.
3. INSTALLATION
3.1
Local city, county, or other ordinances may govern the use of this equipment. If you have any
questions about local requirements, please contact the appropriate local agency.
3.2
Under normal circumstances these units are intended for use indoors, at room temperatures
between 5
and 40
C, at no greater than 80% relative Humidity (at 25
C) and with a supply
voltage that does not vary by more than 10%. These ovens should not be operated at an altitude
exceeding 2000 meters. Installation category is CAT-II.
3.3
Pollution Degree 2. Customer service should be contacted for operating conditions outside of
these limits. Installation may be performed by the end user. It is unnecessary for this unit to be
installed by a technician.
3.4
Location:
In selecting a location, consider all conditions that might affect performance, such as
heat from radiators, ovens, autoclaves, etc. Avoid direct sun, UV light sources, fast-moving air
currents, heating and cooling ducts, and high traffic areas. Allow a minimum of 10 cm between
the unit and any walls or partitions that might obstruct free airflow and to promote easy access to
the power cord and source. Under normal circumstances this unit is intended for use indoors.
3.5
Power Source:
The unit power requirements are listed on the data plate. Check the data plate
for voltage, cycle, and ampere requirements. Plug the power cord into a PROPERLY
GROUNDED (earthed) Power source OF THE CORRECT SIZE AND STYLE INDICATED ON
THE UNIT NAMEPLATE RATING. A separate circuit is recommended for this unit to prevent
loss of product due to overloading or circuit failures caused by other equipment. The supply
voltage must match the nameplate voltage /- 10%. The US market units are designed for
120 VAC @ 60 Hz, 12.0 Amps. The EU market units are designed for 230 VAC @ 50/60Hz, 6.0
Amps. If supplied with a detachable cord set, plug the female end into the inlet on the unit and
the male plug into the supply. Assure that units requiring fuses have them installed. The fuse is a
T type, 12.5 Amp for 110 volt units, 10 Amp for 220 volt units. This fuse may be at the inlet or a
part of the cord set male plug.
3.6
Leveling
: The unit must sit level and solidly. Leveling feet are supplied and must be installed in
the four holes in the bottom corners of the unit. With the feet installed and the unit standing
upright, each foot can be raised by turning it in a counterclockwise direction. Adjust the foot at
each corner until the unit stands level and solid without rocking. If the unit must be moved, turn
the leveling feet in (clockwise) all the way to prevent damage while moving.
3.7
Lifting and Handling:
CAUTION: Use appropriate lifting devices that are sufficiently rated for
these loads. Failure to do so could result in minor or moderate injury.
Units should only be lifted
from their bottom surfaces. Handles and knobs are not adequate for lifting or stabilization. The
unit should be completely restrained from tipping during lifting or transport. All moving parts such
as trays or covers should be removed during transfer to prevent shifting and damage.
3.8
Cleaning
: Appropriate lab practice includes cleaning and disinfecting the unit prior to use. Your
operating conditions and appropriate protocol will determine the correct procedure for cleaning.
A typical cleaning procedure is described below and will help reduce the likelihood of
contamination and the necessity of decontamination. Clean the unit regularly. Depending on
usage and protocol, this may be weekly, monthly or quarterly. Cleaning the unit does not qualify
the unit as decontaminated.
