Locating your Oven

  • Ensure there is sufficient clearance at the front for easy access and ventilation.
  • Maintain 300mm clearance at the top to ensure the inlet and outlet vents are not obstructed, allowing proper ventilation.
  • Maintain at least 100mm clearance at the back and sides to allow for proper airflow and avoid overheating.
  • Avoid placing the ovens too close to walls or other equipment to prevent performance issues.
  • Drying ovens should not be placed under benches where the hot air exhaust may be obstructed or where the hot air may burn the underside of the bench.

Castors

The drying ovens are equipped with lockable castors to prevent cabinet movement.Castor Fig 1

  • Ensure the drying oven is placed on a flat, stable surface. An uneven surface may cause instability within the oven and increase the risk of the unit tipping over or moving if the castors are not locked.
  • To secure the oven in place, press down on the brake lever to lock the castors. Always ensure the castors are locked to prevent unintended movement (Fig. 1).
  • When positioning the drying oven, ensure the castors remain accessible for locking (Fig. 3) and unlocking (Fig. 2). If the castors are damaged, contact your supplier or Thermoline for assistance.

Inlet and Exhaust

All drying ovens are equipped with an inlet and an exhaust port located on the top of the oven.

  • The inlet regulates the amount of fresh (dry) air that enters the oven.
  • The outlet controls the amount of exhaust air that exits the cabinet.

Together, the inlet and exhaust ports work to regulate the drying rate by balancing the air exchange within the oven.

Exhaust Requirements

  • The top covers of the inlet and exhaust can be rotated in either direction to open the exhaust and allow airflow. The air vents are located on the top of the cabinet.

  • For all drying ovens covered in this manual:

    • The exhaust is positioned on the left, and the inlet is on the right when facing the oven.
    • The exact position and number of fans may vary by model, but the overall configuration remains consistent.
  • The drying oven’s vents can be connected to a ventilation system, either for the exhaust only or for both the inlet and exhaust. To connect, first remove the vent covers.

  • To prevent a pressure drop, ensure the connected ventilation pipe is no smaller than 75mm in diameter for proper airflow and ventilation.

Shelves in Glassware Ovens

All ovens comes equipped with shelves used for holding items while the oven is in operation. They allow for more than one item to be conditioned at a time. The shelves can be adjusted to different heights to accommodate different size items.

To adjust the shelf clips you must:Thermoline Manual Image  - Shelvex clip install

  • Hook the top of the clip into the slot seen below.
  • Pinch and squeeze the base of the clip
  • Push base of clip into slot and release.
  • To remove, repeat process.

SAFETY NOTE

The edges of the clips can be sharp. Thermoline recommends using protective gloves while adjusting or moving the clips (e.g. leather gloves).

Shelving:

All ovens are supplied with adjustable shelf clips to accommodate different size items within the cabinet. The amount of shelf clips supplied changes depending on the size of the cabinet ordered.

SETUP WARNINGSWarning

  • When positioning the oven, ensure the castors remain accessible for locking and unlocking. Report any damage to the castors to the supplier or manufacturer.
  • Keep the exhaust area clear of any obstructions to maintain proper ventilation. Do not place objects on top of the exhaust.
  • Use caution when removing packaging, especially when using knives or sharp tools to cut tape and cardboard.

BMS Output

The drying oven can be fitted with an optional 3-pin socket for connection to a building monitoring system or phone dialler. A separate plug is also provided for connecting the socket to your system.
