⇒
The exhaust air from the kiln should be discharged from the operating location through a suitable exhaust air
duct.
⇒
Any wall duct for the exhaust air must be made of heat-resistant material. A ventilation technician or chimney
sweep should be contacted for the design of the exhaust piping.
⇒
The kiln may only be installed in closed rooms that meet the following conditions:
-
not potentially explosive areas
-
not fire hazard areas
-
no condensation possible
⇒
The following requirements for the installation area must be observed:
-
The load-bearing capacity of the surface must be at least 25 N/mm² (corresponds to a concrete strength
class of at least B25).
-
The surface must be flat (+/- 3 mm).
-
The surface must be vibration-free and suitable for the static and dynamic loads on the kiln.
⇒
Avoid environmental influences such as loud noise, water or moisture, strong contamination (especially dust),
acids, alkalis, etc.
⇒
Sufficient lighting (300 to 500 lux) in accordance with ASR 7/3 (German Workplace Regulations or similar
national regulation) must be ensured.
⇒
The valid national regulations of the country of use must be observed.

DANGER
Serious personal injury and property damage caused by:
• loss of stability or placing the kiln on surfaces that are not sufficiently stable or
• a poorly prepared location for the kiln.
WARNING
Risk of serious personal injury and property damage:

6.2.2.

Acclimatising the kiln

The kiln should acclimatise for at least 12 hours or preferably 24 hours, after delivery and installation at the operating
site but before commissioning.
⇒ Rapid temperature change can condense the moisture in the cold air and leading to short circuits and defects
in electrical and other components.
6.2.3.

Levelling the kiln

Before fixing the kiln to the floor, use a spirit level to check that the kiln is standing straight. If the kiln is not upright, the
kiln casing can warp and damage the structure of the insulating material in the firing chamber. This can impair the
function of the ELS kiln floor.
⇒
To level the kiln, a sheet of metal up to 3 mm thick can be placed between the kiln casing and the floor of the
operating location.
Only have work such as installation carried out by specially trained and authorised
personnel.
