3.2
Installation
•
Remove all packing material from in and around the furnace and muffle. The furnace should be located at least
12-20" away from walls, shelves, ceilings and heat sensitive materials. Open the furnace door and remove the
packing material from inside the furnace. NOTE: The furnace front panel will show some discoloration around the
muffle due to the calibration and burn in cycles performed at the factory.
•
The furnace should not be located directly under shelves and other airflow restrictions.
•
Connect the line cord packaged in the rear of the furnace to the socket in rear of furnace. Plug the other end into
a properly grounded outlet.
•
Combustion, Burnout or Reaction Processes
Position the furnace under a vent hood or connect the exhaust port to a ventilation system to prevent exposure to
the exhaust fumes. The furnace exhaust port 1" (25 mm) OD by 1" (25 mm) long/can be ducted into the exhaust
hood for more effective ventilation. Stainless steel flexible metal tubing can be used for this ducting.
•
Heat Treating or Non-Reaction Processes
Position the furnace under a vent hood. Plug the exhaust port with the ball plugs provided in the furnace
accessory kit. This will reduce heat loss and electricity requirements.
•
Connect the furnace to a power circuit or receptacle with an over current protection (circuit breaker or fuse) rating
of 15 Amps for 5355740001 & 5355740002, 10 Amps for 5355740003 and 20 Amps for 5355740004. The
furnace should be the only load on this circuit.
•
Turn on the furnace lighted power switch (right-hand side of the control panel).
NOTICE
•
Operating the furnace without the ceramic floor tray may damage the furnace.
WARNING
•
Do not use extension cords with this equipment.
•
Plug the power cord into a circuit rated a minimum of 15 Amps for 5355740001 & 5355740002, 10
Amps for 5355740003 and 20 Amps for 5355740004.
•
Do not position the unit in a way that blocks access to the power cord inlet socket or the wall outlet.
