6. Unpacking and handling:

When unpacking or transporting the device, always hold the lower side to lift it.

Never lift it by holding the cable or the mains connector.

Before putting the device into service, remove all packaging material from it.

Set up the kiln in a well ventilated room, away from other sources of heat and on a fire-proof,

heat-resistant surface. Remove all inflammable material around the kiln. Do not obstruct any

ventilation holes. Due to the high temperatures inside, it is inevitable that correspondingly heat

will radiate from the device, especially at the door. Place a heat dissipator or a ceramic plate

under the door opening. Do not operate the kiln in the vicinity of easily inflammable or explosi-

ve substances. If the unit is operated with a UK plug, its capacity is 13 A, due to the fuse in

the UK plug. If more power is required, the unit must be connected directly to the mains with a

fuse for 16 A. Do not place the temperature controller on the kiln. Choose a place for the con-

troller, where you can quickly switch it off or disconnect it from the mains in the case of an emer-

gency.

8. Putting the controller into service:

The controller may not set a temperature range above the allowable maximum temperature of

your kiln. Please ask the manufacturer of your kiln, if you do not know the maximum tempera-

ture of your device. Plug the kiln into the socket of the controller.

Remove the protective cardboard tube and connect the temperature sensor to the sensor con-

nector of your kiln. Connect the controller to the 230 Volt socket earthed in accordance with the

regulations.

This controlling unit serves to control the power supply for your kiln.

The scale values correspond approximately to the circuit times in the table below:

Monitor the temperature inside your kiln with for example the Efco thermometer (art. no. 99 502 41).

Heat up your kiln on level 10 and, when the desired temperature has been reached, turn the controller

down to maintain this temperature. The maximum temperature of your kiln must always be taken into

account. At level 10, the kiln is supplied with power continuously without switching off, so that the spiral

can overheat and burn through. Thus the controller may not be permanently be operated at level 10.
