Unpacking And Handling; Installing And Connecting To Electricity; Putting The Kiln Into Service; Operation - Efco 180 TH Mode D'emploi

6. Unpacking and handling:

When unpacking or transporting the kiln, always hold the lower side of the kiln to lift it. Never
lift the kiln by holding the door, cable or the mains connector.
Before putting the kiln into service, remove all packaging material from the kiln, the door and
the firing chamber.

7. Installing and connecting to electricity:

Set up the kiln in a well ventilated room, away from other sources of heat and on a fire-proof,
heat-resistant surface. Remove all inflammable material around the kiln. Do not obstruct any
ventilation holes. Due to the high temperatures inside, it is unavoidable that heat radiates cor-
respondingly from the kiln, especially at the door. Place a heat dissipator or a ceramic plate
under the door opening. Do not operate the kiln in the vicinity of easily inflammable or explosi-
ve substances.
Choose a place for the kiln, where you can quickly switch it off or disconnect it from the mains
in the case of an emergency.
Connect the plug of the kiln to an earthed socket.

8. Putting the kiln into service:

When using the kiln for the first time, heat it up slowly until the final temperature is reached.
A slight development of smoke is normal when putting the kiln into service.

9. Operation:

Operation of the temperature controller
The temperature controller serves to control the heating-up temperature of your kiln.
Introduce the temperature sensor supplied with the controller into the socket provided for the
sensor on the back of the kiln.
After it has been switched on, the controller first shows all display segments, then it briefly
shows the current software version. After this, it switches to the operating mode.
In the operating mode, the controller always shows the actual temperature in green and the
set temperature (either the set drying temperature or the set firing temperature) in red.
The set drying temperature (red) is displayed until the drying temperature is reached; when
this temperature has been reached, the set firing temperature (red) is displayed.
If the display shows "E - 05", the temperature sensor has not been plugged in or it is defec-
tive.
