Page 7: Vacuum Supply Required
INTRODUCTION ACUUM UPPLY EQUIRED The oven does not come with a vacuum pump. A pump must be separately purchased for the oven. Consult a vacuum pump specialist to determine the pump type best suited to your baking application. The correct selection of a vacuum pump is critical for evacuating the chamber to the level required for your vacuum baking applications in a timely manner. -
Page 8: Gaskets
INTRODUCTION ASKETS Gaskets are non-warranty, high-wear consumable items subject to compression forces, heat, and outgassed byproducts. Heavy usage rates may necessitate frequent replacements. The manufacturer strongly recommends keeping a spare gasket on hand during operation. Each oven comes with a replaceable silicone gasket installed on the chamber liner. This gasket seals against the chamber door to maintain the vacuum integrity of the chamber. -

Page 25: Control Overview
CONTROL OVERVIEW Figure 2: Control Panel Power Switch Power is supplied to the unit when the switch is in the ( I ) ON position. Temperature Control Dial This graduated dial sets the oven operating temperature. The dial is marked with 10 major increments and 9 minor increments, which can be used as index points for setting and returning to temperature levels. - Page 26 CONTROL OVERVIEW Vacuum Gauge This gauge indicates the level of vacuum within the chamber. The dial displays a vacuum pressure range of 0 – 76 cmHg and 0 – 30 inHg, with 30 inHg. Zero indicates ambient atmospheric pressure and 30 indicates a perfect vacuum level. Vacuum Control Valve This valve adjusts the level of vacuum draw applied to the oven chamber through the 3/8in Vacuum Port on the back of the oven.

Page 27: 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 28: Theory Of Operation
OPERATION HEORY OF PERATION These units are intended for use in closed-cycle, under-vacuum applications. Vacuum The oven chamber is evacuated by a vacuum pump or building system. The vacuum supply is connected to the Vacuum Port on the back of the oven. The current level of relative vacuum is displayed on the Vacuum Gauge on the main control panel. - Page 29 OPERATION Heating in a Vacuum In conventional ovens, a powered element transfers 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, there is no atmosphere to transport heat evenly from the elements to the product.

OPERATION EMPERATURE ATCHING This procedure sets the oven to a specific temperature using a reference thermometer. Required Thermometer Type: A dial style bimetallic thermometer. Do not use an alcohol or mercury thermometer. These can rupture under vacuum. Place the thermometer on the top shelf of the oven where the face will be visible through the glass door. - Page 35 OPERATION Temperature Matching (continued) Wait 45 minutes for the chamber temperature to stabilize The chamber must be evacuated to accurately match the • dial setting to a specific temperature. Check the thermometer temperature If the thermometer temperature matches your • application temperature or is close enough, the temperature matching procedure is now complete.
-
Page 36: Maximum Obtainable Vacuum
OPERATION AXIMUM BTAINABLE ACUUM The maximum vacuum obtainable is set by the altitude of the oven workspace or laboratory environment. The atmosphere is less dense at higher altitudes than at sea level. While a vacuum pump will evacuate the same percentage of atmosphere from the oven chamber, less overall pressure is expelled because of the reduced density. -
