    Safety Information This manual contains important operating and safety Alert Signals information. The user must carefully read and understand the contents of this manual prior to the use of this equipment. Warning Your Thermolyne furnace has been designed with Warnings alert you to a possibility of function, reliability, and safety in mind.
  • Page 6 AFETY NFORMATION Please note the following WARNINGS: WARNING This warning is presented for compliance with California Proposition 65 and other regulatory agencies and only applies to the insulation in this product. This product contains refractory ceramic, refractory ceramic fiber or fiberglass insulation, which can produce respirable dust or fibers during disassembly. Dust or fibers can cause irritation and can aggravate preexisting respiratory diseases.
  • Page 7: Introduction

    Introduction Intended Use The Type 1500 furnaces are general laboratory and heat treating furnace. For optimum element life, it is suggested that this furnace be used for applications requiring temperatures from 212°F (100°C) to 2192°F (1200°C). For maximum element life, it is recommended to operate the furnace at temperatures from 212°F (100°C) to 1950°F (1066°C) for continuous use, or temperatures from 1950°F (1066°C) to 2192°F (1200°C) for intermittent use.
