OPERATING
Users and operators of this oven must comply with operating procedures and training of
operating personnel as required by the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of
1970, Section 5 and relevant safety standards, and other safety rules and regulations of
state and local governments. Refer to the relevant safety standards in OSHA and
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Section 86 of 1990.
Loading the Oven
Despatch Industries cannot be responsible for either the process or process
temperature used, or for the quality of the product being processed. It is the
responsibility of the purchaser and operator to see that the product undergoing
processing in a Despatch oven is adequately protected from damage.
Carefully following the instructions in this manual will help the purchaser and operator in
fulfilling that responsibility.
When loading the oven avoid spills of anything onto the heater elements or onto the
floor of the oven. Do not place the load on the oven floor plate. This may cause the
load to heat unevenly and the weight may cause shorting out of the heater elements.
Use the shelves provided.
The two shelves are designed to be pulled out about half way without tipping. The
support capacity of the shelves is listed in the Capacities Table in the Specifications
section in this manual. Do not overload the shelves.
Distribute the workload evenly so that airflow is not restricted. Do not overfill your oven.
The workload should not take up more than two-thirds of any dimension of the inside
cavity.
