Installation
Caution
Be sure ambient temperature does not
exceed 40°C/104°F. The recommend-
ed ambient temperature is
17°C - 27°C/63°F-81°F. Ambients
above this level may result in damage
to the controller.
Caution
Allow at least ten inches of space between
the furnace and any combustible surface.
This permits the heat from the furnace
case to escape so as not to create a possi-
ble fire hazard.
Site Selection
The working surface should be composed of metal,
slate, ceramic, etc., so it will not support fire in the
event of a molten metal spill. Place the Electro-Melt in
a fume hood if the melting application will emit noxious
or unpleasant fumes.
Electrical Connections
The electrical ratings are located on the specification
plate on the furnace. Consult the Kerr dealer from
whom you purchased the unit if your electrical service
is different than those listed on the specification plate.
Be sure the front power switch is in the OFF position
before connecting the furnace to your electrical supply.
Warning
To avoid electrical shock, this furnace
must always use a properly grounded
outlet of correct voltage and current han-
dling capacity.
