• HC Series – 72.3 cubic feet, holds 8 shelves

 

• Electric Models
Each features completely wired, side access UL listed control panel enclosing terminals for incoming power, temperature controllers, push buttons and pilot lights. Motor starter and heating element contactors electrically interlocked to shut off heaters if power to blower is interrupted and to permit operation of blower without heat for cooling. Iincoloy sheathed tubular heating elements. Exhaust outlet 4" diameter.

 • Gas Models
—1,000 BTU natural gas at 6" water column pressure, 1" NPT inlet
—Other gas characteristics available

Control panel as detailed above and safety devices as listed on the front of this bulletin. Automatic pre-ignition purge period and push button electric ignition contributes to ease of operation. Modulating gas burner is protected with electronic flame
safety relay.
