[Histonet] Oven for Histology

[Horn, Hazel V]

We have 2 ovens that are on continuously.    I've worked here 15 years
and they were both here when I started this job.   In fact, one is so
old, I think it came over on the Ark.

I have mine on a timer.  The slides dry overnight, the oven swithces off
before I arrive in the morning.  I've had no problems with the operation
of the oven.

If someone could offer an opinion or if any one has experienced this
type of situation, I would appreciate the feedback:

We have an oven that is about 4 to 5 years old, which we use to dry our
histology slides.  The heating element is going out already and my
concern is that it's relatively new for having this problem.

We turn the oven off before we leave for the day and then turn it back
on the following morning.

I'm wondering if turning on/off would cause problems or it really
doesn't matter.

Do you keep your ovens on overnight or off?

Thanks in advance.  It's greatly appreciated.
