Operating Instructions (Version 01/2012) 19
2.3.2. Operation
Use
The AUSTROMAT®firing furnace may only be used for its intended purpose (see section 1.2).
All instructions and procedures that can affect the safety of persons or the firing furnace are
forbidden. The branch-specific and local regulations concerning accident prevention must be
observed.
Please keep the lift closed. Due to increasing surface temperatures the furnace shall not
operate for more than one hour with an open lift above 800 °C.
Condition
The firing furnace may only be operated when it is functioning properly. Observe the technical
data in section 1.5.
If the firing furnace can no longer be operated safely, immediately unplug it and prevent it from
being unintentionally operated. Reasons for assuming that the equipment cannot be used
safely:

•Visible damage to the housing or power cable,
•Malfunctions,
•Frequently required fuse changes,
•Long storage in a problematic environment (moisture, see section 1.6).
Safety stickers
Safety stickers are affixed to the firing furnace and provide notification of residual danger. The
safety stickers may not be removed. They must be replaced if they are lost or are no longer
clearly legible.
Workplace
The operator must provide corresponding instructions and inspections to ensure order and
cleanliness of the workplace and the surroundings of the AUSTROMAT®firing furnace.
Waste
If polluting waste arises from use, the operator is responsible for the proper disposal.
