7.4 Exchanging the chamber door
To sinter Cercon, the chamber door must be exchanged first. In addition, the argon supply line of the Crypton
door must be disconnected.
To exchange the chamber door, proceed as follows:

line.
2.
Pull out the argon supply line of the
Crypton door from the connector.
NOTE!
If the supply line remains in the connector while
Cercon objects are sintered, argon will escape
from the baseplate of the Crypton door during the
sintering process.

At the bottom of the door there is a guide pin for securing
the door on the door mount.
