2.1 Unpacking & Handling
When unpacking or moving the furnace always lift it by its base or by both ends of the main body.
Never lift it by its work tube or the surrounding insulation. Use two people to carry the furnace.
Remove any packing material before use.
Place the furnace in a well ventilated room, away from other sources of heat, and on a surface
which is resistant to accidental spillage of hot materials. Do not mount the furnace on an
inflammable surface.
Ensure that there is free space around the furnace. Do not obstruct any of the vents in the control
section: they are needed to keep the controls cool.
Ensure that the furnace is placed in such a way that it can be quickly switched off or disconnected
from the electrical supply - see below.
NOTE: This product contains Refractory Ceramic Fibre (better described as Alumino Silicate
Wool) for precautions and advice in handling this material see the ‘Repairs and Replacements’
section.
2.2 Electrical Connections
Connection by a qualified electrician is recommended.
The furnace is supplied for use on a single phase A.C. supply, normally 220-240V. The supply
may be Live to Neutral non-reversible, Live to Neutral reversible or Live to Live. Check the
furnace rating label before connection.
220-240V model: the supply should be fused at 13A or 16A. Internal fuses of 12.5A are fitted. See
section 7.2.
The furnace should either be connected directly to an isolator which operates on both conductors,
or be fitted with a line plug. An isolator should be within easy reach of the operator; a line plug
should be quickly removable.
The supply must incorporate an earth (ground).
