Introduction The Lab-Line Vacuum Oven is a new, multi-purpose unit that operates under reduced pressures and/or inert atmospheres. Intended for both low and high temperature applications, it features a 304 stainless-steel work cham- ber, which resists contamination and corrosion from chemically active vapors, and a dual-electronic control system, the Safety Sentinel, which automatically protects samples from overheating.
Unpacking Unpacking The Vacuum Oven is shipped in a single carton. After unpacking, check each “loose” item against the packing list below. If a shortage exists, notify Customer Service at 1- 800-553-0039. Where damage occurred during transit, keep everything intact, including the carton and packing material, and immediately file a claim with the final carrier.

NPACKING Turn TEMPERATURE control to low position on dial, and place POWER switch in OFF position. Connect a vacuum pumping system with suit- able trap to serrated outlet fitting marked VACU- UM. Use heavy-walled vacuum tubing and secure connection with a hose clamp. If desired, connect a purge gas supply to serrat- ed inlet fitting marked PURGE.
Operation The Vacuum Oven is equipped with a 0 to 300°C dial ther- mometer, which is graduated in five degree increments and mounted internally at the top of the oven chamber. Easily read through the observation window, the ther- mometer is used in conjunction with the TEMPERATURE control dial –...
PERATION After desired temperature is obtained, place material to be processed in work chamber, and operate unit per one of the following methods. In a Static Environment The unit can be operated at atmospheric pressure with ambient air or with a controlled atmosphere. If the latter is desired, turn on the vacuum pumping system, and open the VACUUM VALVE control by turning knob coun- terclockwise as far as possible.
PERATION Precautions When using the Vacuum Oven, the following precautions must be observed at all times: • Do not operate the unit at temperatures above 280°C. • Do not permit materials of any kind to rest on top of the unit when operating at elevated tem- peratures.
Maintenance Seal Replacement To replace the oven seal, remove the old seal and per- form the following: Clean the edge of the chamber with Xylene (Cat. No LLX5-500). Mount the seal around the edge of the chamber. Temperature Controller and Heating Element Replacement Replacing the temperature controller or the heating ele- ments requires complete disassembly of the cabinet pan-...
(ii) misuse (including use inconsistent with written operating instructions for the product), mishandling, contamination, overheating, modification or alteration of the product by any customer or third party or (iii) use of replacement parts that are obtained from a party who is not an authorized dealer of Thermo Scientific prod- ucts.
