Unpacking
Visually check for any physical damage to the shipping container. Inspect the equipment surfaces that
are adjacent to any damaged area. Open the furnace door and remove packing material from inside the
furnace chamber. Vacuum the chamber prior to use to remove the insulation dust due to shipment.
NOTE
(-60) Models are supplied with two stainless steel trays, handle and porcelain pegs.
Retain the original packaging material if re-shipment is foreseen or required.
NOTE
The Type 6000 furnaces do not come with a power cord because current requirements are
too great to be handled by ordinary power cords and standard wall supply. (F6010, F6010-33
and F6018 are supplied with cord and plug).
Installation
Site Selection
Install furnace on a sturdy surface and allow space for ventilation.
CAUTION
Be sure ambient temperature does not exceed 104°F (40°C). Ambients above this level
may result in damage to the controller.
Allow at least six inches of space between the furnace and any vertical surface. This
permits the heat from furnace case to escape so as not to create a possible fire hazard.
Electrical Connections
1. The electrical specifications are located on the specification plate on the back of the furnace. Consult
Barnstead/Thermolyne if your electrical service is different than those listed on the specification plate.
Prior to connecting your Type 6000 furnace to your electrical supply, be sure the front power switch is
in the OFF position.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, this furnace must be installed by a competent, qualified electrician
who insures compatibility among furnace specifications, power source and grounding code
requirements. (Disregard Step 2 if you have Model F6010, F6010-33 or F6018.)
2. Your 6000 furnace may be wired either directly through a conduit system or by using a power cord
and plug which conforms to the National Electrical Codes and electrical code requirements of your
area. The terminal block to be used in wiring is located on the lower rear of the furnace.
