Unpackaging
Visually check for any physical damage to the shipping container. Inspect the equipment surfaces that are
adjacent to any damaged area. Open the furnace door and remove packing material from inside the
furnace chamber. Vacuum the chamber prior to use to remove the insulation dust due to shipping.
The furnace is supplied with two hearth plates. Place the hearth plates on the bottom of the chamber.
Install ceramic sleeve into top vent hole on furnace case.
Retain the original packaging material if re-shipment is foreseen or required.
Installation
Site Selection:
Install furnace on a sturdy surface and allow adequate space for ventilation.
CAUTION
Be sure ambient temperature does not exceed 104°F (40°C). Ambients above this level
may result in damage to the controller.
Allow at least six 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 possible fire
hazard.
The electrical specifications are located on the specification plate on the back of the furnace. Consult
Barnstead/Thermolyne if your electrical service is different than those listed on the specification plate.
Prior to connecting your Type F62700 furnace to your electrical supply, be sure the front power switch is
in the “OFF” position.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, this furnace must be installed by a competent, qualified electrician
who insures compatibility among furnace specification, power source and ground code
requirements.
