Getting Started | Glassware Drying Ovens

The drying oven will be delivered foam wrapped and on its castors via sensitive freight (Fig 1) or in a box on a skid (Fig 2).
If the drying oven is delivered on a skid, a forklift may be required to lift it off the skid.
Please only dispose of the packaging once the the oven is inspected. If any damage is found, contact your supplier or Thermoline immediately at:

Moving the drying oven:

Ensure that the oven is rolled on an even and flat surface. Uneven surfaces can cause the oven to fall over.

IMPORTANT

Glassware drying ovens are 'Top Heavy'. Do not move the cabinet too quickly. (Fig 3 & 4)

Place the oven away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., heaters).
Ensure the room's ambient temperature does not exceed the oven's operational limits.
Drying ovens should be stored inside at all times. Failure to adhere to this could cause significant drops in cabinet performance and damage to items stored inside.

Environmental Conditions

Condition	Temperature	Humidity
Extreme Operating Environment	10°C to 32°C (±2.0°C)	Up to 85% RH
Optimal Environment	23°C (±2.0°C)	50% RH (±5% RH)

Under no circumstances should ovens be stacked on top of each other (Fig. 2).
Thermoline 150-litre ovens are equipped with removable castors for benchtop storage. To safely remove the castors, carefully tip the cabinet onto its back or side and unscrew the castors from the base (Fig. 3). This task requires two people—please seek assistance.

Bench Top Castors

Glassware drying ovens require a 10amp, 230V, 50Hz power supply. The specific requirements for each model are shown in the table below:

TGD-250F

10A/230V

All glassware drying ovens include a 2.5m removable mains power lead with a three-pin plug and a right-angle female IEC plug.
Ensure the product is reasonably distanced from the power supply to prevent strain on the lead.
Each oven features a male IEC socket for power connection.

Important Notes

Operating Environment Warnings

Do not store items on top of the cabinet as this will also affect ventilation!
CAUTION: When installing multiple ovens in the same location, ensure they are positioned so that warm air exhausted from one cabinet is not drawn directly into another.
Glassware drying ovens should be stored inside at all times. Failure to adhere to this could cause significant drops in cabinet performance and damage to items stored inside.
Drying ovens are not suitable for use with flammable solvents! They are fitted with components that may be the source of ignition.
The drying ovens are designed for large capacity drying, and hot moist air will be discharged.
