Introduction

Thank you for selecting Thermo Scientific products for your equipment needs.

Thermo Scientific Precision Compact Ovens with mechanical convection are designed for use in industry, laboratories and schools; wherever there is a need for economical and reliable ovens for drying, baking, evaporating and similar type work.

The temperature range is 5°C above ambient up to 250°C as controlled by a reliable hydraulic thermostat. A sheathed heater is positioned in the bottom of the chamber along with a constant-speed fan that circulates heated air rapidly throughout the chamber. The metal cover shields the fan and protects against splattering in the event that any material is accidentally spilled in the area of the fan.

Chamber temperature is conveniently monitored via an LED display on the control panel. To guard against over-temperature conditions, a factory-set hi- limit thermostat is an integral part of the electrical system.

One-inch thick silica-based insulation in the double-walls of the chamber helps retain chamber heat. The interior walls of the chamber are stainless steel and the shelves are chrome-plated steel for ease of maintenance and clean up.

Precision Compact Ovens have a steel exterior finished in baked enamel and are rigidly constructed for long, troublefree service.

These instructions contain important operating and safety information. The user must carefully read and understand these instructions before using the oven. Your unit has been designed to optimize function, reliability, safety and ease of use. It is the user’s responsibility to install the oven in conformance with local electrical codes.

Unpacking and Installation

The shipping carton should be inspected upon delivery. When received, carefully examine for any shipping damage before unpacking. If damage is discovered, the delivering carrier should both specify and sign for the damage on your copy of the delivery receipt.

Open the carton carefully, making certain that all parts are accounted for before packaging materials are discarded. After unpacking, if damage is found, promptly report it to the carrier and request a damage inspection promptly. Have sufficient personnel available to lift the unit into place, using proper lifting techniques according to local EHS policies.

Important Failure to request an inspection of damage within a few days after receipt of shipment absolves the carrier from any liability for damage. Call for a damage inspection promptly

Warning Do not place oven on or near any combustible surface to avoid the possibility of fire and resulting property loss and injury or death to personnel.

Caution Do not remove the rubber space feet. Removal of the feet will prevent proper air venting (air used to cool the electronics is discharged out the bottom) of oven chamber that may cause excessive heat buildup on electrical components and erratic control of temperature.

Caution Bottom shelf is fixed in place to guard against access to heater area and possibility of injury. Do not remove bottom shelf unless performing maintenance or repair.

Note Disconnect unit from the power source when not in use.

Do not replace detachable line cord with a cord having a lesser rating than the cord supplied by the manufacturer.

Location

The oven should be located in an area free from drafts and sources of heat, as well as allowing for natural air movement to dissipate heat from the oven. To ensure needed ventilation around the oven, allow 1.5 inches on each side and 3 inches at the back. Allow enough distance above the unit to be able to install and retrieve the thermometer.

Leveling

The oven should be on a level surface, in order to facilitate movement of materials into and out from the chamber.

Shelving

Slide shelves into place inside the oven and position according to the height required for the items or materials to be heated.

Electrical Connection

The unit is supplied with a 3-wire line cord with molded plug. It should be connected to a outlet designed for 3-prong plugs. For an outlet designed to accept 2-prong plugs (ungrounded), the best advice is to have a qualified electrician replace it with a new, grounded outlet.

If a plug must be installed, use only the 3-prong grounded type, rated for the unit load requirements and matching the power outlet. Make sure the green ground wire is secured to the plug ground terminal.

 The unit must be connected to a power source that meets the electrical requirements as specified on the unit’s nameplate.

Be Advised

Where it becomes necessary to make changes in electrical outlets, wiring and other characteristics, it is recommended that these be done by a qualified or journeyman electrician. This includes replacing 2-prong plugs (ungrounded), for example with a 3-prong plug (grounded).

All changes need to be made to match the load requirements shown on the nameplate of the unit.

Warning This unit is not explosion-proof. Do not use in the presence of flammable or combustible materials; fire or explosion may result. Unit contains components that may ignite such materials. Before operating oven, always observe the following safety precautions:

• Fumes and spillage from acidic solutions cause corrosion of the stainless steel chamber. Maintain a neutral pH at all times.
• The oven heater is in the bottom of the unit. Surface temperatures at the bottom cover of the unit may be higher than set point temperature. For example: A plastic container on the heater cover may become hot enough to melt/burn the container at settings below the melting point of plastic. Do not place items on the heater cover.

Operation

Figure 4-1. Control Panel

1. POWER SWITCH: Turns unit on (green status lamp lights) and off.
2. HI-LIMIT STATUS LAMP: Lights when the hi-limit thermostat is activated. It goes out when oven reverts to a safe operating range.
3. CALIBRATION POTENTIOMETER: Utilizing a jeweler’s screwdriver, the temperature readout can be adjusted.
4. LED DISPLAY: Displays current chamber temperatures.
5. TEMPERATURE CONTROL (THERMOSTAT): Raises and lowers temperatures.
6. HEATERS STATUS LAMP: Lights when heaters are energized.

Warning Do not use in the presence of flammable or combustible materials or explosive gases. Do not use in the presence of pressurized or sealed containers – fire or explosion may result, causing death or severe injury.

Caution It is the user’s responsibility to monitor oven action when setting and maintaining operating temperature; oven failure may occur with possible property damage and/or injury to personnel.

Caution Do not place open containers of liquid in the oven.

Temp Control (Thermostat)

Refer to Figure 4-1 for the procedure below.

1.  With the temperature control thermostat (5) in the extreme counterclockwise position, turn the power (rocker) (1) to its On position. (Switch’s green status lamp will light.)
2. Turn the temperature control thermostat (5) in clockwise direction to increase the temperature and counterclockwise to lower it. The amber status lamp (6) above the thermostat goes on when the heaters are energized. Wait for the chamber temperature to stabilize before advancing thermostat too rapidly to reach target temperature. Note that dial setting to obtain a specific temperature will need to be approximated and can be affected by such factors as changes in line voltage, ambient conditions and types of materials being heated.
3. Read the LED display (4) for the chamber temperature produced by each setting of the temperature control thermostat (5). As experience is gained with the temperature control thermostat, improved results will be obtained in setting it to achieve specific target temperatures.
4. Always allow time for the oven to reach target temperature and to stabilize before making further adjustments of the temperature control thermostat.

Caution At the higher temperatures, the exterior of the oven and particularly the vent ring on the top of the oven become warm to the touch. To avoid burns, do not touch these surfaces.

• A factory-set hi-limit thermostat cuts off power to the heater in the event that the maximum operating range is exceeded. The red status lamp (2) on the control panel indicates when the hi-limit thermostat is controlling. It goes out when oven reverts to a safe operating range.

Caution When exposed to high humidity ambient above 80%, dry out the oven for 20 minutes at a temperature above 100°C before loading with samples. The oven may not meet all 61010-1 safety standards during this drying procedure.

Maintenance

The bottom shelf that covers the heater can be removed for easy access to the heater area.

Clean up any spills as soon as possible to prevent materials being baked on surfaces.When the oven is cool, use a mild soap and water to clean surfaces. Rinse thoroughly and dry. It is best to avoid highly abrasive cleaners which can damage the finish of the interior surfaces and shelves.

Warning Disconnect plug from electrical outlet before attempting any maintenance or repair of this unit.

Note Make no attempt to service or repair a Thermo Scientific product under warranty before consulting your Thermo dealer. After the warranty period, such consultation is still advised, especially when the repair may be technically sophisticated or difficult. If assistance is needed beyond what the distributor can provide, please call Technical Services. No merchandise should be returned directly to the factory without obtaining a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number from Technical Services. s

Warning The qualified electrical technician is required to verify the safe state of the oven after any repair.

Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is an alloy of steel with chromium and nickel that increase the metal’s resistance to rust and corrosion. Yet, if not properly cared for, stainless steel can rust and corrode.

Exposure to air provides the passivation, or oxide layer coating, for clean stainless by producing a thin, durable chromium-oxide that forms rapidly on the alloy surface to give stainless its characteristic “stainless” quality. Also exposure of the surface to other oxidizing environments can produce a passivating film or coating.

However, if free oxygen is not available due to scale or contamination buildup, the metal surface may become vulnerable to rusting and corrosion as well as pitting. But by maintaining neutral pH and conducting frequent cleanings with detergent and water, years of trouble-free service from stainless steel products can be obtained.

Warning Electrolysis can damage stainless steel. This occurs when an object is allowed to rest directly on the surface of stainless steel, trapping moisture that becomes oxygen-starved, but is surrounded by water containing oxygen.

Some Stainless Guidelines to Consider

Distilled water is recommended. Please note, if this water is very pure, it may be corrosive to stainless. When filling a bath or incubator, always add 2 to 40 PPM (20 to 40 mg/liter) diodium phosphate or sodium bicarbonate, adjusting dosage to provide a pH value of 7 to 9. If not available, use clean, aerated soft tap water provided the total solids concentration is < 500 PPM. We do not recommend using 18 M Ohm deionized water. If this is the only source of treated water available, mix with regular tap water at a 50/50 ratio.

The pH Factor

Check pH regularly. If pH is <6.0, add disodium phosphate to increase pH to a 7 to 9 value. Sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate may be used but they tend to form scale that must be rinsed out regularly. If pH is >10.0, add sodium bisulfate to decrease pH to a 7 to 9 value. Avoid adding harsh alkalines or acids since these may cause localized corrosion and result in unstable pH.

Special Considerations

Chemicals which should be limited to a 3 hour maximum exposure time to stainless steel are:

Warning If it is necessary to use these chemicals, limit exposure time to a maximum of 3 hours – always clean surfaces immediately after use.

Be advised: Never use the following on stainless steel:

Chemical spills, especially those agents listed here, should be removed as soon as possible and the stainless steel surface cleaned with mild soapy water followed by a clean water rinse.

Cleansing Agents

Anti-fungal and anti-bacterial additives are permissible to use as long as the pH of the aqueous solution is kept within the range of 7 to 9. These are available through laboratory distributors. Be sure to confirm that they are not harmful to stainless steel.

Cleaning Methods

Do not use any metallic pads. Instead, for stubborn stains, use a plastic light-duty cleansing pad and rub gently in the direction of the metal grain. If stains continue to persist, use one of the following chemicals and methods.

• Any of a variety of “scale removers” available at local supermarkets or hardware stores used for the cleaning of coffee marks, humidifiers or vaporizers.
• A 15% to 35% phosphoric acid solution available from laboratory supply distributors for scale and rust removal. Allow solution to soak the surface affected until rust and scale is loosened. Immediately follow with a clean water rise.
• Citric acid based cleaners.
• Bathroom tub and tile cleaners.

Regardless of the approach utilized, always follow the manufacturer’s directions and allow the chemicals to do the cleaning with minimal scrubbing.

Always follow cleanings with a clean water rinse. Air dry.

Caution   Extreme care must be taken when handling these materials. Always work in an area with adequate ventilation. Use the precautions as outlined in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and the manufacturer’s instructions for the product being utilized. Also, follow the personal protection index found in the Hazardous Materials Information System (HMIS) section of the MSDS.

Note The use and disposal of these chemicals may be regulated by your local city codes; consult those regulations before of disposing of those materials.

Materials Effective in Disinfecting

• Glutaraldehyde
• Alcohol

Be Advised : This information is intended as guidelines only and we make no claim as to the suitability to any particular situation. Consult your staff chemist to determine what would be best for your stainless steel product and laboratory.
