F.6 Additional Operation Precautions
WARNING: Do not rinse glassware or metal parts with flammable solvents such as acetone,
toluene, etc. and then clean the parts in the oven without allowing the solvents to dry.
Flammable solvents such as acetone or toluene will ignite or explode inside the oven if present
in sufficient concentration.
CAUTION: Do not clean remove silicon materials in the oven as it will poison the catalytic
system of the oven (and afterburner, if so equipped).
WARNING: Do not clean any sealed vessel, glass or metal, which could develop explosive
forces and rupture inside the oven.
WARNING: Do not overload the oven with metal parts containing heavy organic residues. The
maximum load for the Pyro-Clean Oven is 1 to 2 pounds of polymer or plastic. Consult Applied
Test Systems if heavier loads need to be cleaned.
CAUTION: Do not operate the oven without the special catalytic trays inside the oven. This
trays contain a special catalytic material which helps inert the oven atmosphere and destroys
the pyrolysis gases produced during the cleaning process.
F.7 Operation Instructions
1. Turn the power switch on the front of the Pyrolytic Oven to the ON position. The POWER light located on the front
of your oven will light up and the HMI display will power on. The status display will show "Off".
2. Select "View" on the HMI Main screen.
3. Select "Settings" on the HMI View screen.
4. Verify that the "Cycle Time" is set up to the value you wish. A setting of 2 hours is recommended for most
applications. However, for removing asphalts, a setting of 4 to 5 hours is recommended as asphalts are among the
more difficult organics to remove.
5. Select "Done" to return to the "View" screen.
6. Select "Done" to return to the "Main" screen.
7. Load the oven with the parts that you wish to clean. Parts should be loaded to promote drainage. Read "Principles
of operation and use" section before loading parts to verify what the pyrolytic oven can clean.
8. Close the oven and latch it.
9. Press the "Start" button to start the oxidizer chamber heating to 1300°F. The draft inducer and air pump will turn
on. The status display will change to "Oxidizer Preheat".
10. Once the oxidizer temperature is stable (1300°F ±50°F for 10 minutes). The oven door will lock and the oven will
