Intended Use

This furnace is intended as a general purpose laboratory, ashing, and heat treating
furnace at 1100°C for continuous (over 3 hours) or intermittent (under 3 hours) use, for
light industrial and laboratory applications only. The furnace is designed for thermal
technology applications in laboratories, such as those found in manufacturing trades and
industry, schools, universities and biology. It is used for ageing, analysis, tempering,
decomposing, baking, annealing, hardening, soldering, oxidizing, reducing, incineration
and preheating.

Non-Intended Use

This furnace is not intended for the following:
To heat up food.

For drying or heat treatment of substances which release gases or vapors into the

atmosphere that are flammable or dangerously explosive when mixed with air.
This furnace is equally unsuitable for the heat treatment of combustible dusts and

fibrous materials.
