NSTALLATION
2.1 Unpacking & Handling
When unpacking or handling the furnace always lift it by its base. Never lift it by the door. Use
two people to unpack and carry the furnace.
Carefully remove any packing material from the furnace chamber. Avoid damaging the
surrounding insulation when removing packing materials.
2.2 Siting & Setting Up
Place the furnace in a well ventilated room, away from other sources of heat, and on a non-
inflammable surface that is resistant to accidental spillage of hot materials.
Ensure that there is free space of at least 50mm around the furnace. Do not obstruct any of the
case vents: they are needed to keep the controls and the case exterior cool.
Ensure that the furnace is placed in such a way that it can be quickly switched off or disconnected
from the electrical supply.
2.3 Chimney
The chimney is a short length of ceramic tubing. If it is supplied unfitted, then fit it through the
hole in the top of the furnace case.
If the furnace is to be used to heat substances that emit fumes, then a fume extraction duct of about
150mm inlet diameter may be placed directly above the chimney outlet. Do not attempt make a
sealed connection to the furnace chimney as this causes excessive airflow through the chamber
and results in poor temperature uniformity.
2.4 Hearth
The chamber floor (hearth) is supplied with a ceramic tile. This may already be in position in the
chamber. If it is packed separately, unwrap it and place it carefully on the chamber floor.
2.5 Door Vents
There is a plate fixed to the inner door panel (door plug carrier), accessible by removing the door
insulation piece. This can be positioned to open up holes in the inner door, to allow an increased
air flow in the chamber. Decide on the required position and fix the plate accordingly (see section
7.8).
