Unpacking And Handling; Installing And Connecting To Electricity; Putting The Kiln Into Service; Operation - Efco UHLIG U92/008 Operating Instructions Manual

6. Unpacking and handling:

When unpacking or transporting the kiln, always hold the lower side of the kiln to lift it. Never
lift the kiln by holding the door, cable or the mains connector.
Before putting the kiln into service, remove all packaging material from the kiln, the door and
the firing chamber.

7. Installing and connecting to electricity:

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 unavoidable that heat radiates cor-
respondingly from the kiln, 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.
Choose a place for the kiln, where you can quickly switch it off or disconnect it from the mains
in the case of an emergency.

8. Putting the kiln into service:

When using the kiln for the first time, heat it up slowly until the final temperature is reached.
A slight development of smoke is normal when putting the kiln into service.

9. Operation:

The temperature controller serves to control the temperature of your kiln.
Put the temperature sensor supplied with the controller into the socket provided for the sensor
on the back of the kiln.
After it has been switched on, the controller first shows all display segments, then it briefly
shows the current software version. After this, it switches to the operating mode.
In the operating mode, the controller shows the actual temperature in red.
If the display shows "E - 05", the temperature sensor has not been plugged in or is defective.
