The iDRY kiln is a very straightforward machine, and as long as all the setup steps are completed properly, you will be on your way to drying in no time. Make sure to take the time to familiarize yourself with all of the parts of the kiln, and be aware of each output port and it’s uses. Note that the electrical and drainage portions of your iDRY kiln should be installed and connected by a licensed electrician and a licensed plumber respectively. Correct installation is important, and the efficacy of your iDRY kiln will be dependent on these being handled properly.

The air filter is a simple installation however, and can easily be handled yourself. We have included the details of that device and its installation below.

One of the very first things you’re going to do after receiving your kiln, powering it up, and connecting the drain is to put in the noise suppressing air filter. This filter is primarily used as a muffler for the vacuum pump and will help cut down on the excess noise. On the back of the iDRY kiln next to the aluminum panels that give access to the control panel and pump, there is a schedule 40 three-inch white PVC pipe that the air filter attaches to.

You can either dry fit or glue the filter into place, and it is recommended to face the air filter upwards to assist not only with air flow, but to prevent the moisture from falling through the filter and dripping onto your floor. When the air filter is installed in an upright position, the moisture will condensate and drip back into the pipe and then go down and out the drain on the underside of the kiln.
