1. SAFETY

Please read and understand all safety hazards and warnings prior to using your Hot Spot 110 

furnace. If you have any questions about this section please contact Zircar Zirconia, Inc. 

BEFORE

 

start up.

ELECTRICAL WARNINGS

1.

  The Hot Spot 110 is designed to be powered by a single phase circuit breaker or fuse protected 

grounded outlet and is supplied with a cord with a plug appriopriate for the design voltage.

  Operating with an improper power supply could cause the cord to overheat and cause a fire.

  No other device should be operated on the circuit used by the furnace. The furnace works 

best over the long run if supplied with a constant voltage.

  Please refer to the furnace nameplate to verify your Hot Spot power requiprements and 

reference the chart below.

2.

  Disconnect all power from the furnace before opening any part of the Hot Spot 110 cabinet. 

Failure to disconnect the power supply can result in electrocution. Unplug the power cord to 

disconnect the power.

3.

  The Hot Spot 110 is electrically resistance heated by exposed heating elements. NEVER TAMPER 

with the safety cut off switch. The safety cutoff switch cuts off power to the heating elemenets 

when the door is opened (see appendix A #8).

BURN/FIRE WARNINGS

1.

  Do not locate the Hot Spot 110 near combustible materials. Select a safe location to install the 

furnace.

  The furnace door opens up and away from the operator and can be opened when very hot. If 

opened while hot, the door will radiate heat over the top of the furnace. Combustibles 

located in the path of this radiated heat may catch fire.
