Page 6: Regular Maintenance And Operating Tips
Regular Maintenance and Operating Tips Familiarise yourself and your students with the sensitivity of the pouring arm control. Do not over use the metals. Do not re-melt the same metal more than 5 times. This is due to impurities being added to the metal from external sources which can hinder the pour or start to block the nozzle, which may lead to leaks.
