Page 9: Vacuum Pump Options
INTRODUCTION ACUUM PTIONS SVO-10-VC ovens can be ordered with one of several vacuum pump types installed inside the oven utility cabinet. These pumps vary in evacuation flow rates and suitability for different baking applications. Refer to the vacuum pump manufacturer manual included with the oven for specifications and compatibility with applications. -
Page 10: Gasket Chemical Vulnerabilities
INTRODUCTION ASKET HEMICAL ULNERABILITIES The oven comes with a Viton® gasket built into the oven door. The gasket must seal against the un- nicked contact surface on the oven body in order for the oven chamber to hold vacuum. The gasket is a low wear, long-duration component that is rated to 220°C and typically replaced only during scheduled services on the oven. -

Page 29: Operation
OPERATION Safe operation of the oven is dependent on the actions and behavior of the oven operators. Operating personnel must read and understand the Operating Precautions in this section prior to operating the oven. The operators must follow these instructions to prevent injuries and to safeguard their health, environment, and the materials being treated in the oven, as well as to prevent damage to the oven. -
Page 30: Theory Of Operation
OPERATION HEORY OF PERATION Vacuum and Vacuum Automation These ovens are intended for use in closed-cycle, under-vacuum applications. The chamber must be sealed and evacuated at the start of a vacuum baking application. The oven is not built to operate with the chamber exposed to free atmosphere. - Page 31 OPERATION Heating in a Vacuum In conventional ovens, powered elements transfer heat into the chamber air. The heated air then circulates by natural convection or blower fan action and surrounds the product on the shelves, gradually bringing it to temperature. In a vacuum oven, heat transport takes place primarily by conduction.

Page 32: Put The Oven Into Operation
OPERATION UT THE VEN INTO PERATION Verify all required procedures in the Installation chapter have been carried out. Then perform the following steps and procedures to prepare the oven for use in a new location. Turn on the oven Verify the oven vacuum integrity Place the Chamber Under Full Vacuum for a minimum of 10 minutes to verify the integrity of the vacuum system. -
Page 33: Evacuating The Oven Chamber
OPERATION VACUATING THE HAMBER Note: Perform a Full Vacuum evacuation of the chamber for at least 10 minutes when first putting the oven into operation in a new location to verify the vacuum supply system integrity. The oven door must be closed and latched prior to activating either of the vacuum functions. An operator must always be present while the oven is drawing a vacuum. - Page 34 OPERATION Option 2 – Manually Turn On Full Vacuum Opens the vacuum valve to its maximum position. Turn on the oven vacuum pump. a. Tap Pump Start. 2. Turn on Full Vacuum on the homepage. • The chamber will evacuate to the lowest pressure allowed by the pump and samples.
