Application Notes

• For preserving the longevity of the furnace components, we recommend the heating rate not to exceed 10 °C /min.
• The cooling rate shall also not exceed 10 °C /min. 
• This furnace lacks vacuum sealing, and it is not recommended to use toxic or explosive gasses in this furnace without necessary safety controls and supervision. 
• Small cracks may appear on the surface of the refractory ceramics with overuse. This is a normal occurrence and the cracks may be repaired with alumina coating.

• The refractory block must be inserted before closing the door (click the picture on left for details).
