4 MF58 – 1.06
2.0 ABF I NSTALLATION
2.1 Tools Required
10mm spanner, 12mm spanner, cross point screwdriver, flat blade screwdriver.
2.2 Unpacking, Handling & Siting
When unpacking and moving the ABF always lift it by its base; never lift it by the door or any
other protruding part.
Remove any packing material from the chamber before use.
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.
Install the ABF 8/28 in a well ventilated room, ideally away from sources of dust. The surface on
which the equipment is mounted should be resistant to accidental spillage of hot materials and
must not be inflammable. The surface should be stable and not subject to movement or vibration.
If the optional metal stand is supplied, this is best placed on a solid (concrete) floor.
The height of the mounting surface is important to avoid operator strain when loading and
unloading samples. A surface height of about 600mm is recommended to give a sample loading
height of about 960mm.
Ensure that there is free space around the ABF. Do not obstruct any of the vents in the case: they
are needed to keep the controls and the case exterior cool.
Ensure that the ABF is placed in such a way that it can be quickly switched off or disconnected
from the electrical supply - see below.

- Remove the split chimney panel (photo 2.2).
- Fasten the chimney to the top of the ABF using the screws provided (photo 2.1 & 2.3).
