Unpacking & Handling
When unpacking or moving the product, always lift by its base; do not use the door or
any other projecting cover or component to support the equipment when moving it. Use
a fork lift or pallet truck to move the product; position the product on a level surface
and use an adequate number of personnel to safely move the product into position.
Carefully remove any packing material from inside and around the product before use.
Avoid damaging the surrounding insulation when removing packing materials.
A transit clamp is fitted to prevent the hearth moving during transportation. The transit
clamp consists of a metal bracket fixed with straps to the top of the case and a
threaded bar that is fixed to the bracket and pushes down onto a wooden block
positioned on the hearth. Remove the transit clamp as follows: remove the nut at the
top of the threaded bar; cut the straps that hold the bracket to the top of the case and
lift off the bracket; lift the threaded bar out of the furnace; remove the wooden block
from inside the chamber.
NOTE: This product contains Refractory Ceramic Fibre (also known as

this material see section 7.2.
2.2
Siting and Setting Up
Place the product on a level surface in a well ventilated area.
Site away from other sources of heat and on a non-flammable surface that is resistant
to accidental spillage or hot materials.
The surface on which the equipment is mounted should be stable and not subject to
movement or vibrations.
The height of the mounting surface is important to avoid operator strain when loading
and unloading samples.
Unless otherwise stated elsewhere in this manual, ensure that there is
at least 150
mm
of free space around the back and sides of the product. Clear space is required
above the product to dissipate heat.
