INSTALLATION PROCEDURES FOR WW ELECTRIC BURNOUT FURNACES
1) W13 and W14 Furnaces require 240V - 20 Amp dedicated power supply and a NEMA NO: 6-20
receptacle or you can wire in direct with a breaker box nearby (USE A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN).
W18 furnaces require 240V – 30 Amp dedicated power supply and a NEMA NO: 10-30 receptacle.
2) Set the furnace on a sturdy bench or table with a fire-proof top. Sides and back must be at least
12" from wall or side equipment.
3) The minimum voltage required to operate your furnace is 200V. The maximum is 250V.
4) Vent or Vents (depending on furnace model) and plug(s) are supplied for the top of the furnace.
Keep vents open at all times until all fumes or vapors are eliminated. STEAM WAX ELIMINATION IS
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
5) Read and remember the SAFETY RULES enclosed at all times.
6) Insert line cord plug into wall socket (or turn on breaker if direct wired).
a. The Controller will display all segments and the alarm sounds.
b. After a moment [ ldLE ] and the current temperature will alternately appear and the
alarm will stop.
(Remember - All programming, including permanent programs, begins from [ ldLE ] ).
7) Now refer to Permanent Program No. 1 (page 10). This is the wax burnout program which is 1 -
1½ hours in length and a good system check for your controller.
Your furnace is ready for use and you have two more permanent programs available. Programs
No. 2 and No. 3. One of these should be suitable for your use. If not, you may refer to
"PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS" and set up your own custom program (see pages 14 - 16).
Vents are built into the top of your furnace. These vents must be kept open at all times. Their
purpose is to allow the fumes - created during burnout - to escape. Although not necessary, a vent
hood above the furnace is a desirable asset for helping get rid of these fumes. The vent hood
should be a DRAFT-TYPE vent hood, do not use a suction fan style hood, otherwise excessive
power is wasted during burnout. Place top of furnace approximately 12" below vent. See
illustration.
