2.2 Health and safety instructions
This furnace has been designed according to EN 61010-1 and has
been shipped from the manufacturer in excellent condition as far as
safety regulations are concerned. To maintain this condition and to
ensure risk-free operation, the user must observe the notes and
warnings contained in these Operating Instructions.
– Place furnace on a fire-proof table (observe local regulations, e.g.
distance to combustible substances or objects, etc.).
– Always keep the air vents at the rear of the furnace free from
obstruction.
– Do not touch any parts that become hot during operation of the
furnace. There is a burn hazard.
– Clean furnace only with a dry or slightly moist cloth. Do not use
any solvents. Disconnect power before cleaning.
– Use original packaging for transportation purposes.
– The furnace must be cool before it is packed for transportation.
– The user must especially become familiar with the warnings and
operating conditions to prevent injury to personnel or damage to
materials. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage
resulting from misuse or failure to observe the Operating
Instructions. Warranty claims cannot be accepted in such cases.
– Before switching on the furnace, make sure that the voltage
indicated on the rating plate complies with your local power
supply.
– The power socket must be equipped with a residual current circuit
breaker.
– The furnace must be plugged into a socket with protected contacts.
– Before calibration, maintenance, repair, or exchange of parts, the
power must be disconnected if the furnace is to be opened.
– If calibration, maintenance, or repair has to be carried out with
the power connected and the furnace open, only qualified
personnel, who are familiar with the risks and dangers, may
perform these procedures.
– After maintenance, the required safety tests (high voltage
resistance, protective conductor, etc.) have to be carried out.
– Ensure that only fuses of the indicated type and rated current are
used.
– If it is assumed that safe operation is no longer possible, the power
must be disconnected to avoid accidental operation. Safe operation
is no longer possible if
– the furnace is visibly damaged
– the furnace does not work
– the furnace has been stored under unfavourable conditions
over an extended period of time
– Use only original spare parts.
– The temperature range for faultless operation is +5 °C to +40 °C
(41 °F to 104 °F).
– If the furnace has been stored at very low temperatures or high
atmospheric humidity, the head has to be opened and the unit
dried or left to adjust to room temperature for approx. 1 hour (do
not connect the power yet).
– The furnace has been tested for use at altitudes of up to 2000 m
above sea level.
– The furnace may only be used indoors.
– Do not run the furnace via an extension cord.
– When placing and removing the investment ring, make sure not
to hit the insulation of the firing chamber.
– There is a burn hazard at the cooling tray if the furnace is
continuously operated in the press mode (stand-by = 700 °C).
Any disruption of the protective conductor either inside
or outside the furnace or any loosening of the protective
conductor connection may lead to danger for the user in
case of a malfunction. Deliberate interruptions are not
tolerated. Materials developing harmful gases must not
be fired.
Warnings regarding the removal of the heating muffle
