Warning
Platinumware
holders service
This procedure describes the steps to take in order to remove your K2 Prime
platinumware holders. This procedure needs to be done when cleaning, or when
replacing the holders or parts of it.
Note that both holders (crucible and mold) can be removed totally or partially. In
routine cleaning, only the middle portions would need to be removed; you would
not need any tool. However, if more parts are damaged or soiled, then the whole
holders must be removed, and tools are needed. Please refer to page 68,
Adjustment of holders, to properly re-adjust the holders after maintenance.
Also, because the crucible holder sits above the mold holder, we recommend
removing the crucible holder first, and then the mold holder.

complete crucible holder, is recommended for this operation.
