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 condi-
tion 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:
– 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 power plug acts as a circuit breaker and may only be connected with an easy-to-access power socket with
protective contact.
– Only use the supplied original power cord. Do not use an inadequately measured replacement.
– Place the 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 and the side of the furnace free from obstruction.
– Do not touch any parts that become hot during the operation of the furnace. There is a burn hazard.
– When removing hot components from the firing chamber (e.g. firing table, firing tray), make sure to place them on a
fire-proof surface.
– Clean the furnace only with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use any solvents! Disconnect power before cleaning and allow the
furnace to cool down!
– The furnace must be cool before it is packed for transportation purposes.
– Use original packaging for transportation purposes.
– Before calibration, maintenance, repair or change of parts, the power must be disconnected and the furnace has to be
cool if it has to be opened.
– If calibration, maintenance or repair has to be carried out with the power connected and 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.
– If the furnace has been stored at very low temperatures or high atmospheric humidity, the head has to be opened and
the furnace dried or left to adjust to room temperature for approx. 4 hours (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.
– Before leaving the factory, the furnace functions were tested for several hours. It is therefore possible that these tests
have caused slight discolouration of the insulation. Nevertheless, your Programat P510 is still a brand new furnace.
