Baking of component

Category: Hardware
Product Number: LTM8067
Dear sir/mam,
 
We have been using your devices in many of our designs for various applications. In the process of Baking the MSL level component, we have encountered a problem as below;
 
"During the process of baking the MSD component at +125 °C in a chamber for 48 hours, the chamber door was opened in the middle of the 48 hours duration (around 44th hour) to introduce a tray consisting of PCBs into the same chamber which also needed the same baking temperature of +125 °C for 4 to 6 hours duration."
 
 
So, we have a few queries related to the above process.
 
  1. Can we open the chamber door in between the baking duration - to add another batch of MSD components for shorter duration or even longer duration or to add PCBs, etc.
     
  2.  What is the effect on the component which is undergoing baking when the chamber door is opened before the completion of baking duration.
     
  3.  Do we need to extend the baking duration if the chamber door is opened in between the baking process.
     
  4. Do we need to repeat the baking for the complete 48 hours duration.
 
Please suggest/recommend us further course of action need to be taken to resolve the above said issue.
 
 
Thanking you and looking forward to hear from you soon.
