Location

A furnace of this type is typically installed in a calibration laboratory where
temperature conditions are generally well controlled. Best results will be ob-
tained from this type of environment. Avoid the presence of flammable materi-
als near the furnace. Allow 6 or more inches of air space around the furnace.
Adjust the levelers on the bottom of the furnace to level the furnace and to keep
it from rocking.
