INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

UNPACKING CAUTIONS:

Carefully unpack and remove the furnace from its shipping carton. Save the carton and other packing

material for future use in transporting the furnace.

The furnace shipping carton contains the following:

• One furnace complete w/ power cord

• Owner's & Operator's Manual

• Ceramic floor tray (shipped in the muffle)

• Muffle shelf (Model 1750 only)

Shipping damage should be reported to the carrier as soon as detected.

LIFTING AND CARRYING:

NOTE: The 1750A models require two people to handle the furnace.

1. Get a firm footing. Keep your feet, shoulder width apart for a stable base.

2. Bend your knees. Don't bend at the waist.

3. Grip the base of the furnace and lift with your legs.

4. Keep the load close to your body and carry the unit to the destination. Keep your back upright during lifting.

INSTALLATION:

1. Remove all packing material from in and around the furnace. The furnace should be located at least 15cm (6")

away from walls, shelves, and heat sensitive materials. Open the furnace door and remove the packing material

from inside the furnace. NOTE: The furnace front panel may show some discoloration around the muffle due

to the calibration and "burn-in cycles" performed at the factory.

2. The furnace should not be located directly under shelves and other airflow restrictions.

3. On high voltage, 230V units, connect the power cord to the socket in rear of furnace (this applies to 550A only,

1750A cord is already connected).

4. Positioning the furnace:

a) (Combustion, Burnout or Reaction Processes) Position the furnace under a vent hood or connect the exhaust

vent to a ventilation system to prevent exposure to the exhaust fumes.

b) (Heat Treating or Non-Reaction Processes) Position the furnace under a vent hood. The ventilation system

should accept a minimal of 25 CFM.

5. Connect the furnace to a power circuit or receptacle with an overcurrent protection (circuit breaker or fuse) rating

of 10 Amps. This circuit should only supply the furnace. The 1750 North American model requires a 20A supply

(breaker/receptacle).

6. Turn on the green power switch (right-hand side of the control panel) and the LCD display will come on. The

light in the green power switch lights when the door is closed and the start key is pressed.

7. At this time, your new furnace should be ready to operate. Please review the OPERATIONS and SETUP &

MAINTENANCE sections of the manual before proceeding to select special options.
