INSTALLATION
Installation of the unit requires permanent connect wiring (commonly known as hardwiring) and
should be performed by a qualified electrical technician. All other steps can be performed by the
end user.
This oven is intended for use indoors at room temperatures between 15

C and 40

C (59

F and
86

F), at no greater than 80% Relative Humidity (at 25

C / 77

F). Allow a minimum of 12 inches
(30cm) between the oven and any walls or partitions, as well as 12 inches (30cm) of vertical
headspace clearance above the top of the oven for unobstructed airflow and cooling.
Operating the unit outside of these conditions may adversely affect the temperature range and
stability.
For conditions outside those listed above, please contact your distributor or Sheldon Sales to
explore other ovens suited to your laboratory or production environment.
L
OCATION
When selecting a location to install the oven, consider all environmental conditions that can affect
unit’s effective temperature range, uniformity, and stability. For example:
 Other ovens, autoclaves, and any device that produces significant radiant heat
 Heating and cooling ducts, or other sources of fast moving air currents
 High-traffic areas
 Direct sunlight
L IFTING AND H ANDLING
The oven is heavy. Use appropriate lifting devices that are sufficiently rated for these loads. Follow
these guidelines when lifting the oven:
 Lift the oven only from its bottom surface.
 Doors, handles, and knobs are not adequate for lifting or stabilization.
 Restrain the oven completely while lifting or transporting so it cannot tip.
 Remove all moving parts, such as shelves and trays, and lock doors in the closed position
during transfers to prevent shifting and damage.
