This furnace has been designed according to EN 61010-1 and has
been shipped from the manufacturer in excellent condition as far as
safety regulations are concerned. To maintain this condition and to
assure 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
the 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 Instruc-
tions. 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 furnace must be plugged into a socket with protected
contacts.
– Place 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!
– Clean furnace only with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use 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 exchange of parts, the
furnace must be cooled down and the power disconnected if the
furnace is to be opened.
– If calibration, maintenance or repair has to be carried out with the
power connected and the furnace open, only qualified personnel
from the field of electrical engineering 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
(+41 °F to +104 °F).
– 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 approximately
4 hours (do not connect the power yet).
– The furnace has been tested for use at altitudes of up to 2000 m
(6562 ft) above sea level.
