IMPORTANT CAUTIONS
Check duct occasionally to see if there is wax or other
residual build up. Wax could condense in the duct,
which is a potential fire hazard. This is especially
important if you are using a wax resist.
Be sure that the exhaust of the vent is not being brought
back into your building. Keep exit of vent at least four feet
away from any open windows or doors.
We recommend the use of a carbon monoxide monitor in
your kiln room. These are available from good hardware
stores for about $50 (This is another good way to be sure
you are getting proper venting).
Disconnect power cord from power source when doing any
maintenance on the fan motor. Do not put your fingers inside
the blower without disconnecting power. Blower may start
unexpectedly because of automatic thermal shut off switch
built into the motor.
DO NOT place anything in the blower/motor while powered.
Serious injury and/or damage to the motor could result.
INSTALLATION TIP BEFORE STARTING
NOTE: Attach the Bypass Box to the stand and the
aluminum duct to the Bypass Box before installing the
kiln on the stand because it can be hard to do this when
the kiln is on top of the stand.
CHECKING SHIPMENT
Your ventilation system was carefully packed and inspected
prior to shipment to make sure that all parts were in perfect
condition.
When carrier makes delivery, you should immediately unpack
your ventilation system and accessories to determine
whether or not any damage has occurred in transit.
If damage has occurred, retain all of the packaging material
and notify L&L at once. Retain all papers to ensure that a
proper claim can be filed.
