2.2 Health and safety instructions
This furnace has been designed according to EN 61010-1 and has been shipped from the manufacturer in excellent
condition as far as safety regulations are concerned. To maintain this condition and to ensure risk-free operation, the user
must observe the notes and warnings contained in these Operating Instructions.
– It is important that the user becomes familiar with the warnings and operating conditions to prevent injury to personnel
or damage to materials. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage resulting from misuse or failure to observe the
Operating Instructions. Warranty claims cannot be accepted in such cases.
– Before switching the furnace on, make sure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate complies with your local
power supply.
– The mains socket must be equipped with a residual current operated device (FI).
– The power plug acts as a circuit breaker and may only be connected with an easy-to-access power socket with protec-
tive contact.
– Only use the supplied original power cord. Do not use an inadequately measured replacement.
– Place the furnace on a fire-proof table: Observe local regulations (e.g. distance to combustible substances or objects,
etc.).
– Always keep the air vents at the rear of the furnace free from obstruction.
– Do not touch any parts that become hot during operation. Burn hazard!
– When removing hot components from the firing chamber (e.g. firing plate, firing tray), make sure not to place them on
a flammable surface!
– Clean furnace only with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents! Disconnect the power plug before cleaning and allow the
furnace to cool down!
– The furnace must be cool before it is packed for transportation.
– Use original packaging for transportation purposes.
– Before calibration, maintenance, repair or change of parts, the power must be disconnected and the furnace has to be
cool if it has to be opened.
– If calibration, maintenance or repair has to be carried out with the power connected and the furnace open, only
qualified personnel who are familiar with the risks and dangers may perform the procedures.
– After maintenance, the required safety tests (high voltage resistance, protective conductor) must be carried out.
– Make sure that only fuses of the indicated type and rated current are used as replacements.
– If it is assumed that safe operation is no longer possible, the power must be disconnected to avoid accidental operation.
Safe operation is no longer possible if
– the furnace is visibly damaged;
– the furnace does not work;
– the furnace has been stored under unfavourable conditions over an extended period of time.
– Use only original spare parts.
– The temperature range for faultless operation is +5 °C to +40 °C.
– If the furnace has been stored at very low temperatures or high atmospheric humidity, it must be dried or left to adjust
to the room temperature for approx. 4 hours prior to connecting power.
– The furnace is tested for use at altitudes of up to 2,000 m above sea level.
– The furnace may only be used indoors.
– Before leaving the factory, the furnace functions were tested for several hours. It is therefore possible that these tests
have caused slight discolouration of the insulation. Nevertheless, your Programat EP 5010 is still a brand new furnace.
