Important Information
This manual contains important operating and
safety information. You must carefully read and
understand the contents of this manual prior to
the use of this equipment.
Your Thermolyne FB1300 Model or FB1400
Model Furnace has been designed with function,
reliability, and safety in mind. It is your responsi-
bility to install it in conformance with local elec-
trical codes. For safe operation, please pay
attention to the alert signals throughout the man-
ual.
Warnings
To avoid electrical shock, this furnace must:
1. Use a properly grounded electrical outlet
of correct voltage and current handling
capacity.
2. Be disconnected from the power supply
before servicing.
3. Have the door switch operating properly.
To avoid burns:
1. “Caution: Hot Surface. Avoid Contact.”
Do not touch the exterior or interior sur-
faces of the furnace during use or for a
period of time after use.
To avoid personal injury:
1. Do not use in the presence of flammable
or combustible materials — fire or explo-
sion may result. This device contains
components which may ignite such
material.
2. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

Please note the following WARNINGS:
WARNING
This warning is presented for compliance with California Proposition 65 and other regulato-
ry agencies and only applies to the insulation in this product. This product contains refracto-
ry ceramic, refractory ceramic fiber or fiberglass insulation, which can produce respirable
dust or fibers during disassembly. Dust or fibers can cause irritation and can aggravate
preexisting respiratory diseases. Refractory ceramic and refractory ceramic fibers (after
reaching 1000°C) contain crystalline silica, which can cause lung damage (silicosis). The
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified refractory ceramic fiber
and fiberglass as possibly carcinogenic (Group 2B), and crystalline silica as carcinogenic to
humans (Group 1).
The insulating materials can be located in the door, the hearth collar, in the chamber of the
product or under the hot plate top. Tests performed by the manufacturer indicate that there
is no risk of exposure to dust or respirable fibers resulting from operation of this product
under normal conditions. However, there may be a risk of exposure to respirable dust or
fibers when repairing or maintaining the insulating materials, or when otherwise disturbing
them in a manner which causes release of dust or fibers. By using proper handling proce-
dures and protective equipment you can work safely with these insulating materials and
minimize any exposure. Refer to the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for
information regarding proper handling and recommended protective equipment. For addi-
tional MSDS copies, or additional information concerning the handling of refractory ceramic
products, please contact the Customer Service Department at Barnstead|Thermolyne
Corporation at 1-800-553-0039.
SAFETY INFORMATION

Intended Use
The FB1300 Model and FB1400 Model fur-
naces are general purpose laboratory and heat
treating furnaces. For optimum element life,
observe the following temperature ranges:
100°C (212°F) to 982°C (1800°F) for continuous
use, or from 982°C (1800°F) to 1100°C
(2012°F) for intermittent use. Continuous use is
operating the furnace for more than three
straight hours, and intermittent use is operating
the furnace for less than three hours.
The unit consists of a heating chamber and a
digital controller. See Figure 1 for the overall
shape and general features of the unit.
General Usage
Do not use this product for anything other than
its intended usage.
Principles of Operation
The furnace chamber is heated by a single
three section resistant heater which is embed-
ded in a refractory material. The chamber is
insulated with a ceramic fiber insulation. The
temperature is controlled by an electronic con-
trol. The temperature is measured by a thermo-
couple and is registered on a digital display. For
safety, door switches are incorporated to
remove power from the heating elements when
the door is opened. The furnace is supported by
the control section which also houses the elec-
trical connections.

Unpacking
1. Visually check for any physical
damage to the shipping container.
2. Inspect the equipment surfaces that
are adjacent to any damaged area.
3. Open the furnace door and remove
the packing material from inside the
furnace chamber.
4. Vacuum the chamber prior to use to
remove the insulation dust due to
shipment.
5. Retain the original packaging mate-
rial if reshipment is foreseen or
required.

Installation
Caution
Be sure ambient temperature does
not exceed 40°C (104°F). The rec-
ommended ambient temperature is
17°C - 27°C. Ambients above this
level may result in damage to the
controller.
Caution
Allow at least six inches of space
between the furnace and any com-
bustible surface. This permits the
heat from the furnace case to
escape so as not to create a pos-
sible fire hazard.
Warning
To avoid electrical shock, this fur-
nace must always use a properly
grounded outlet of correct voltage
and current handling capacity.
Site Selection
Install furnace on a sturdy surface and allow
adequate space for ventilation.
Electrical Connections
The electrical ratings are located on the spec-
ification plate on the back of the furnace.
Consult Barnstead/Thermolyne if your electri-
cal service is different than those listed on the
specification plate. Be sure the front power
switch is in the OFF position before connect-
ing the furnace to your electrical supply.

Operation, All Modes
Warning
To avoid personal injury do not use
in the presence of flammable or
combustible chemicals; fire or
explosion may result. This device
contains components which may
ignite such materials.
Hot Surface
Caution: Avoid Contact. To avoid
burns, this furnace must not be
touched on the exterior or interior
surfaces during use or for a period
of time after use.
Warning
To avoid electrical shock, the door
safety switch must be
operating properly.
Warning
Always wear safety glasses or a
safety shield and high temperature
gloves when loading or unloading
the furnace. Long sleeved, fire
retardant clothing and a fire retar-
dant apron is also recommended.
Power Switch
Both the ON/OFF power switch and the digital
display will illuminate when power is switched
ON. The furnace will begin to heat to the con-
troller's current setpoint. (See the instructions
for your type of controller for information on
checking and setting the setpoint.)
Cycle Light
The amber cycle light will illuminate whenever
the power is being applied to the heating ele-
ments. The cycle light will turn on and off as
the furnace reaches the setpoint.
Door Safety Switch
The door safety switch removes power from
the heating elements when the door is
opened. Open and close the door a few
times; note that the amber CYCLE light will
switch off when the door is opened. If this
condition is not true, consult the
Troubleshooting section before proceeding.
This check must be done when the furnace is
heating and the cycle light is illuminated.
