9.1 Installation location
• Installthedeviceinadry,heatedroom.Thedistancetotheclosestwall
should be at least 25 cm (see Section 7. Ambient conditions).
• Whenthetemperatureisbelow15°C(e.g.aftertransport),leavethedevice
to stand for approx. 60 minutes at room temperature before using it for the
first time.
• Ensurethatthesurfacewherethedeviceisinstalledisheat-resistant
and non-flammable. The radiation and heating of the device is within a
non-hazardous range. Nevertheless, heat sensitive surfaces of furniture and
veneers could become somewhat discolored over time due to the constant
influence of heat (minimum distance apart 50 cm).
• Preventdirectsunlightfromcomingintocontactwiththedevice.
• Donotplaceanyammableobjectsinthevicinityofthedevice.

9.4 Fuses
On the back of the device (see Section 9.2), there are 2 device fuses. The
identification plates show information about the fuse ratings used in the device.
Fuses with other ratings must not be used.
230-volt model: T 10 H 250 V / TH 16 H 250 V
9.5 Information about the identification plates
This pictogram warns of hazardous voltage. Before opening the unit,
always disconnect the device from the mains current by unplugging
the AC adapter.
The manufacturer is not liable for accidents to the user
occurring when the device is open!
After the back plate has been removed, a voltage of up to 400 volts
may still exist in components in the area of the power supply unit on
the circuit board, even when the device is switched off.
Do not place any objects in the area of the lift plate.
When the device is switched on, the lift will move down to the lower
position. For setting down firing objects, use the laterally extendable
storage plates.
In continuous operation (max. final temperature, max. firing time),
some parts of the firing chamber may reach high temperatures
(above 70°C). Do not reach into the open firing chamber when the
device is switched on. There is a risk of touching electrically live
or hot parts.

9.7 Switching off the device, or stopping its operation
When the device is not in operation, the lift should be moved into the firing
chamber and the device must be switched off at the main switch (see Section 9.2).
Closing the firing chamber protects the insulation and prevents moisture
absorption.
