Pos: 51 /TD/Sicherheit/Anforderungen an den Betreiber der Ofens Top-HO und F @ 13\mod_1289388704974_51.doc @ 107539 @

The set-up instructions and safety regulations must be followed, otherwise the kiln will be deemed to have been used improperly, effectively cancelling any claims against

Nabertherm GmbH.

This level of safety can be achieved only if all the necessary measures have been taken. It depends on the kiln operator's diligence in planning these measures and controlling how they are carried out.

The operator must ensure that



This kiln is NOT used by certain persons (including children) with restricted physical, sensorial or mental capabilities or who have insufficient experience and/or insufficient knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person who is responsible for their safety or are instructed in how to use the kiln. Children should be supervised to make sure that they do not play with the kiln.



When ceramics, clay, or glaze are fired, they can emit gases and vapors that are harmful to your health. It is therefore necessary to make sure that the "exhaust gases" emitted from the exhaust air opening are directed outdoors in a suitable manner

(ventilate the working area). If adequate ventilation cannot be ensured at the working area, the "exhaust gases" must be removed via a pipe (see "Exhaust Gas System").



Before placing materials in the kiln, check whether they could harm or destroy the insulation or the heating elements. Materials that could damage the insulation include: alkalis, alkaline earths, metal vapors, metal oxides, chlorine compounds, phosphorous compounds, and halogens. If applicable, read the labels and instructions on the

packaging of materials that you use.



The kiln is operated only in a perfect operating condition and, in particular, that the functions of the safety components are checked regularly.



Necessary personal protective equipment is available. Example: protective gloves, suitable apron, etc.



This instruction manual is to be kept beside the kiln. These instructions must be available at all times for anyone working with or on the kiln;



All the safety and operating instruction signs on the kiln can be read properly.

Damaged or unreadable signs must be replaced immediately,



Personnel are informed regularly about all issues involving occupational safety and environmental protection and are familiar with all the operating instructions, especially those involving safety,



If the kiln is used commercially:

Observe the safety regulations applicable in your country. In Germany, the kiln must be checked by a qualified electrician at defined intervals in accordance with a regulation issued by the employers' accident insurance fund.

When the kiln is being installed, these safety instructions must be followed:

 The kiln must be installed in a dry room as stated in the safety instructions.

 The surface (floor or bench) where the kiln is to be installed must be level to permit the kiln to stand upright. Place the kiln on a non flammable surface (fire safety class A DIN 4102 – Example: concrete, tiles, glass, aluminum or steel) so that any hot material falling from the kiln cannot ignite the surface.

 The load-bearing capacity of the bench (e.g. bench-top model Top 16/R) must be sufficient to take the weight of the kiln and accessories.

Non-flammable surface

Bench (accessory)

Fig. 8: Example: Non flammable surface Top 16/R

In spite of its good insulation, the kiln radiates heat from its outer surfaces. If necessary, this heat must be dissipated (contact a ventilation engineer if necessary). Flammable

materials must be kept at least 0.5 m (safety distance S) away from the kiln. In some cases, the distance must be greater because of specific local conditions. The minimum distance between the kiln and non-flammable materials may be reduced to 0.2 m at the sides. If the charge emits gases or vapors, ensure adequate ventilation at the installation site and/or a suitable exhaust air venting system. If required, the customer must provide a suitable vent for combustion exhaust gases.

Assembly recommendation

Compliance with our recommendations does not release users of our products from their personal responsibly in relation to local situations and conditions. However, several general recommendations should be considered:



In the case of kilns up to 60 kg we recommend that you tip the kiln carefully on its feet. Grip below the kiln

1

and carefully tip it to the side. Assemble the first castor and then carefully release your grip on the kiln. Repeat this process for all the castors.

We recommend that a second person prevents the kiln from tipping too much, falling over or rolling away.



Do NOT tip kilns above 60 kg on their feet. There is a risk of the feet "breaking off" if you tip the kiln. To assemble the castors, we recommend that you sit the kiln on four suitable wooden blocks. These blocks should be at least 20 cm high, so that the castors can be screwed beneath the feet. At least two people are needed to lift the kiln, more for heavier kilns.

When ceramics are fired, depending on the quality of the clay and/or glaze, they can emit gases and vapors that are harmful to your health. It is therefore necessary to make sure that the "exhaust gases" emitted from the exhaust air opening are directed outdoors in a suitable manner (ventilate the working area). If adequate ventilation cannot be ensured at the working area, the "exhaust gases" must be removed via a pipe. We recommend that you connect a pipe to the kiln to remove the exhaust gases.

A suitable metal exhaust gas pipe with NW80 can be used to vent the gases. Use only metal pipes (example: stainless steel). The pipe must be attached facing upwards and be fixed to the wall or ceiling. Adequate room ventilation is needed to achieve the bypass effect.

Vapors may not be extracted through a fan.

Assume a maximum exhaust gas temperature of approx. 200 °C for the piping system.

There is a risk of burning at the bypass connection and the piping. Make sure that the wall duct is made from

A

heatproof material.

If the kiln is installed in a "passive house" it must be ensured that the room has an adequate fresh air supply. Because of potential aggressive vapors, we do not recommend that it is connected to the house ventilation system. We recommend a separate kiln room that can be ventilated adequately.

Read the section on "Safety". When the kiln is put into operation, the following safety information must also be observed to prevent serious injury, damage to the kiln, and damage to other property.

Make sure that the instructions and information in the instruction manual and the controller instructions are observed and followed.

Before starting the kiln for the first time, make sure that all tools, foreign parts, and transportation securing equipment have been removed.

Before you switch on the kiln, make sure that you know what to do in case of faults or emergencies.

Before placing materials in the kiln, check whether they could harm or destroy the insulation or the heating elements. Materials that could damage the insulation include: alkalis, alkaline earths, metal vapors, metal oxides, chlorine compounds, phosphorous compounds, and halogens. If applicable, read the labels and instructions on the

packaging of materials that you use.

Heat the kiln to dry out the bricks and to get a protective oxide layer on the heating elements. There may be some unpleasant odors while the kiln is heating. This is due to binder being emitted from the insulation material. It is advisable to ventilate the room in which the kiln is located well during the first heating phase.



Half open the supply air valve (see "Operation")



Close and lock the lid (see "Operation")



Switch on the kiln/controller with the power switch (see "Operation")



Heat the empty kiln, if necessary with new kiln furniture (shelves and props) to 500

°C in 6 hours, and then heat at full power; kiln models Top… and HO… to Tmax

1050 °C, kiln model F… to Tmax 950 °C and keep this temperature for one hour before allowing the kiln to cool naturally. Read the controller instructions for how to enter temperatures and times.

Insulation

The kiln insulation is made from high-grade fireproof material. Due to thermal expansion, cracks in the insulation will occur after a few heating cycles. These have no influence on the function, safety or quality of the kiln. The refractory bricks (insulation) are of a particularly high quality. Due to the manufacturing process small holes or cavities may occur. These are quite normal and underline the quality features of the bricks. These holes or cavities are not a reason for complaint.

Note

New kiln furniture (e.g. shelves and props) should be heated once to dry them out (as described above). When cold, heating elements are extremely brittle. Take great care when packing, emptying and cleaning the kiln.

The lid lock must be locked when during firing. To release emitted gases and vapors more quickly and to shorten the cooling phase after firing, the air inlet valve can be completely or partially opened.

Note

The temperature specifications given by clay and glaze producers must be observed. They will be happy to provide you with suitable firing curves for the products.

So that your pottery, which was made with a lot of effort and love, is not destroyed, the following principles should be observed:



Allow pottery to dry slowly – not in a heated room or in the sun.



Dry pottery away from drafts - drafts cause uneven drying and drying cracks.



Loosely cover outstanding parts (e.g. handles) with paper or plastic film, as they dry faster than the rest of the pot. If you don't do this, cracks may occur at the joint.



Allow the pottery to dry for at least one week - longer in cool basements.



Clay shrinks when it dries; in other words, the volume is reduced due to the loss of water. Objects that stick to a surface crack when they dry - therefore, always place your pottery on fresh, clean surfaces.



Turn your pottery often as the top dries quicker than the bottom.



Handle dry pottery carefully with both hands and don't lift it by the edges. Pottery is very fragile in this state.

When the greenware is completely dry, it is bisque fired; that is, it is fired in the kiln at between approx. 900 °C and 950 °C. The first firing – for unglazed pottery (terracotta) the only firing – changes the physical and chemical properties of the clay. It becomes "bisque ware" (like a clay brick) and is hard and cannot be dissolved in water.

During the bisque firing the pots in the kiln can touch each other. They can be stacked (also inside each other) as long as they are not too heavy or do not prevent each other from shrinking. Tiles or flat plates should be placed directly on the shelves to prevent distortion.

It really depends on the size of the objects whether they are stacked on several shelves or if a few larger pieces fill the entire kiln. But the chamber should not be "overloaded" to ensure sufficient air circulation. For the firing it is important that you know what happens to the pottery. It loses a lot of water and shrinks. If the kiln temperature is raised too quickly, the steam does not have enough time to escape and objects can crack and damage the kiln. Therefore, the kiln should be heated slowly to about 650 °C at approx. 100 °C to

150 °C per hour. Chemically bound water escapes from the clay until about this temperature. From this time you can heat the kiln to the final temperature at full power.

Nabertherm controllers handle this task fully automatically.

The controller instruction manual contains all the details.

Because of the large mass and the good insulation, it takes several hours for the kiln to cool; be patient. You should open the lid a little only when the kiln has reached about 100 °C.

When the kiln is completely open, many people are amazed to find that there have been several changes to the pottery. The pieces are smaller, they are lighter in color, the clay has a different color, the bisque ware is hard and you can now lift a pot by its handle without fear of it breaking off.

Usually, the glaze firing is the highest temperature firing. The temperature range for earthenware (usually red or brown clay) is about 1040 °C to 1080 °C. For stoneware

(usually white clay) the kiln has to reach at least 1200 °C. The glazes must be adapted to suit the temperature range.

The top of the shelves should be painted with a separating agent (batt wash) before a glaze firing. This coating should be renewed from time to time.

Check the areas where the pottery is to stand - they must be free of glaze. Pottery with a glazed base must be placed on stilts or triangular rods for the firing. Glazed pottery should be handled very carefully and should not be touched at the edges. The pots must not touch in the kiln - the glaze would fuse together (there should be a few centimeters between the pots). There must also be a gap of at least 2 cm to the heating elements.

Always use only glazes in one melting range (e.g. 1050 °C) in a firing. Heat the kiln to about 500 °C at reduced power (approx. 180 °C per hour, see also controller instructions)

(water escapes from the glaze), and then heat to the final temperature at full power. Hold this temperature for about 30 minutes so that the glaze melts evenly throughout the kiln.

38

Only open the lid or door when the temperature has dropped to below 50 °C. Many glaze cracks are the result of opening the lid too soon.

You can grind any glaze drops on the bottom of the pottery or the shelves with a grinding stone or an angle grinder - paying attention to all the safety regulations.

Do not use very runny glazes to avoid damaging the shelves, the kiln insulation or the heating elements and the kiln itself.

You can obtain firing and glazing accessories and specialist literature from a specialist dealer in your neighborhood. We will be happy to provide you with addresses.

In a reduction firing, oxygen in the kiln is consumed by means of a foreign substance.

However, since oxygen is needed to maintain the protective oxide layer on the heating elements NO reduction firings should be carried out in an electrically heated kiln.

Under certain circumstances, high concentrations of gases can settle in the insulation and destroy it.

If it is unavoidable, after each reduction firing the kiln must be fired with a normal atmosphere to replace the protective oxide layer on the heating elements.

No warranty claims will be accepted for damage caused by reduction firings.

Annex V No. 7 "Artificial Mineral Fibers" from June 12, 1998. In the rest of the European

Union, ceramic fibers are classified according to Commission Directive 97/69/EC from

December 5, 1997 as follows: CARC. Cat. 2; R 49; Xi R 38. Work with fiber insulation

The following points should be observed when working with ceramic fiber:

- Keep dust to a minimum.

- Avoid contact with skin and eyes. The effects of

fibers in the eyes can cause mechanical irritation, which can, in turn

cause redness and itching.

- When working with large quantities of ceramic fiber, wear loose

working clothes with long sleeves, gloves, and protective eyewear.

- When working inside kilns with ceramic fiber insulation, you should also wear a

half/quarter mask with P2 filter

Commercial use:

The kiln and its equipment must be checked regularly according to the national regulations in the country in which they are installed.


Work on the electrical equipment may be done only by qualified, authorized electricians.

During maintenance work it must be ensured that the oven and the switching equipment cannot be activated by mistake (pull out the power plug) and that all moving parts in the oven are secured. Observe BGV A3 or the corresponding national regulations in the country where the oven is installed. Wait until the oven and the connected parts have cooled to room temperature.

Before each firing a check must be made to ensure that the kiln casing and the lid clamp ring retain their firm fit and that the kiln lid still closes snuggly. If either the kiln casing or the lid clamp ring is loose, they must be retightened on the outer tensioning straps.

Tightening the straps holds the insulation in the kiln lining and the lid in place.

Tighten the screws of the kiln casing and/or lid clamp ring with the hex key that is supplied.

Secure the tensioning connections against turning with pliers, for example.

The heating element should be replaced soon. As a temporary measure, the heating element can be pressed back into the groove and may have to be held in place with clamps.

The kiln insulation is made from high-grade fireproof material. Due to thermal expansion, cracks in the insulation may occur after a few heating cycles.

These have no effect on the function or quality of the kilns and are not a reason for complaint.

Heat causes the material to expand and a small slit may appear. This slit has no influence on the functioning of the kiln.

Carefully vacuum out the kiln at regular intervals. We recommend that you cover the top layer of your ware with a ceramic plate.

Check the power supply and the condition of the charge and, if necessary, restart the kiln. In the information menu the last temperature of the program before the power failure can be seen under "Ht".

When it is delivered, this oven contains no substances that make a hazardous waste classification necessary. However, residues of process materials may accumulate in the oven insulation during operation. These may be hazardous to health and/or the environment.



Dismantle the electronic components and dispose of them as electric scrap.



Remove the insulation and dispose of it as hazardous waste (See Servicing, Cleaning, and Maintenance with Ceramic Fiber Material)



Dispose of the housing as scrap metal.

12.2 Transportation/Return Transportation

+45

-5°C

If you still have the original packaging, this is the safest way to send an oven.

Otherwise:

Choose suitable, adequately sturdy packaging. During transportation, packages are often stacked, bumped, or dropped; the packaging acts as external protection for your oven.

- Drain all piping and containers before transportation/return transportation

(e.g. cooling water). Pump off operating materials and dispose of properly.

- Do not subject the oven to extreme cold or hot temperatures (direct sunlight).

Storage temperature -5°C to 45 ° (-23°F to 113°F)

Humidity 5% to 80%, non condensing

- Place the oven on a level floor to prevent distortion.

- Packaging and transportation may be carried out only by qualified and

authorized persons

If your oven has transportation securing equipment (see "Transportation Securing

Equipment"), use this.

Otherwise, in general:

"Fix" and "secure" (adhesive tape) all moving parts and cushion and protect any projecting parts against breakage.

Protect your electronic equipment against moisture and make sure that no loose packaging material can get inside it.

Fill gaps in your packaging with soft but adequately firm material (e.g. foam mats) and make sure that the equipment cannot slide around in the packaging.

If the goods are damaged during return transportation due to inadequate packaging or some other breach of duty, the costs will be borne by the customer.

As a rule:

The oven is sent without accessories, unless the technician expressly requests them.

Enclose a detailed description of the fault along with the oven – this saves the technician time and costs.

Don't forget to enclose the name and phone number of a contact in case there are any questions.

Note

Return transportation may only be carried out according to the information given on the packaging or in the transportation documents.

Note

Transportation and return transportation not covered by a warranty claim are paid for by the customer.
