The furnace head should not be
removed from the furnace base as
long as the furnace head is
connected by means of the
heater cable.
Make sure that no liquids or other
foreign objects enter the furnace.
Firing trays must not be placed in
the area surrounding the firing
table, since this will obstruct the
closing of the furnace head.
Foreign objects must not be
placed on the air vents. Make sure
that no liquids or other
foreign objects enter the air vents,
since this may result in
an electrical shock.
Never place objects in the firing
chamber by hand, since there is a
burn hazard. Always use the tongs
(accessories) supplied for this
purpose. Never touch the hot
surface of the furnace head, as
there is a burn hazard. Please also
refer to the warnings on the
furnace.
