Best Practices

• Ensure ovens and other heating equipment are turned off during unoccupied hours.
• Keep hot equipment away room temperature sensors and thermostats to avoid distortion of room temperature.
• Reduce temperatures if contents no longer require continuous heat.
• Use timers for automatic shutdown and startup of drying ovens.
• Post a sign near the oven specifying how long it takes to preheat and reminding users to turn off heating equipment when not in use.
