OPERATION
6.1
Power Supply: The power supply must be properly grounded (earthed) and correctly sized to match
the unit data plate rating. The supply voltage must match the data plate voltage within 10%. 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 a fuse have a fuse installed.
6.2
Push the power switch to the ON position and turn the Over Temperature Thermostat to its maximum
position, clockwise so it will not interrupt the setting of the Main Temperature control.
6.3
Place the reference thermometer through the exhaust port on top of the unit; a clip is provided with
your accessory package.
6.4
Setting Main Temperature: The operating range for this oven is ambient room temperature + 5
C to
200
C. To set the Main Temperature Controller turn the knob to the desired oven temperature, using
the graduated dial as a reference guide. Allow one hour for the temperature to stabilize. Using the
reference thermometer, verify the oven temperature; if it is not at the desired value, turn the control
knob up or down as needed. Allow the temperature to re-stabilize, continuing the process until the
exact desired temperature is achieved.
Note: Slight vapor or smoke may occur in the initial heat-up. This is a normal occurrence when
the oven is first brought up to temperature and protective coatings on the element become hot.
6.5
Setting Over Temperature: As stated in section 6.2, the Thermostat should be set to its maximum
position. Now turn the control knob counterclockwise just until the OVERTEMPERATURE
ACTIVATED light comes on. Next, slowly turn the control knob clockwise just until the light goes off.
Then turn the control knob clockwise two (2) minor scale divisions past the point where the light went
out. The Over Temperature Thermostat should now be set at approximately 10
C above the Main
Temperature set point. Note that it is not recommended that the unit be allowed to operate using the
Over Temperature Thermostat as the temperature controller for an extended period of time. See the
Troubleshooting section if the Thermostat is activated.
