5.5. Installation of ventilation system
Please note: The exhaust socket has been designed to
prevent heat from radiating against walls, surfaces or
other objects�
Screw the exhaust air socket (figure 4) into the hole on
the left side of the kiln� The opening has been located in
a position that will allow fumes and gases to be released
through an exhaust air socket (optional accessory)� Plug
the exhaust air tube into the exhaust air socket (figure 5)
and use the fixing screw to fix it to the socket�
5.6. Air supply handle
All ROHDE Toploader models are equipped with an air supply handle (figure 6) on the
kiln base� When the handle points to the left, the air supply is cut off� When the handle
points to the right, the air supply is open�
You can significantly increase the service life of the heating elements by
opening the air supply up to a temperature of 600 – 700°C.
5.7. Connecting to power supply / controller
The kiln is equipped with a mains supply cable� The power supply data can be seen on the type plate� The power
supply must be suitable for the requirements of the kiln� The plug must be located next to the kiln�
Do not use extension cables! The mains supply cable must not come into contact with the hot kiln!
Regional voltage fluctuations are possible and will lead to
fluctuations in the nominal output� In Germany, for
instance, the nominal voltage of 230 / 400 is subject to
voltage fluctuations of 10%� If the voltage drops from 230
to 210 under load, the output of the kiln will be reduced
by 16%�
The controller (figure 7) is connected to the kiln with a
14-pin plug-and-screw connection� You will find the black
socket (figure 8) next to the electric connection on the
side of the switch cabinet�
First plug in the black plug of the controller� You might
need to turn it a little until it locks into position� Then turn
the screw connection ring, in order to protect the con-
nection�
All connections required for extension (figure 9) of exten-
dable Toploader kilns are already installed (figure 10)�
