⇒
Loosen the bolts no more than half a turn
to a full turn.
⇒ The optimum seal can be achieved due to
the slant of the sealing strip.
⇒ The sealing strip is attached higher
towards the front of the kiln than towards
the back wall of the kiln.
⇒
This means that the sealing strip does not
rub against the kiln casing when it is
extended and retracted.
⇒ However, it seals the ELS kiln floor from
the kiln casing when it is fully retracted.
