In order to maintain the capacity of this unit further longer the following
periodic cleanings prior to use are recommended.
Note When you perform machine maintenance, make sure that the unit is turned off and
)
the muffle heat is as low as room temperature to avoid the cause of fire and electric
shock.
Retort
Make sure to find if melted alloy is stuck to the retort bottom or not and if the
●
retort has any crack or not.
Melted alloy stuck to the bottom of a retort will react to the retort under high heat and
※
can make a tiny hole or a crack for the melted alloy to leak and will attack the muffle
heater to damage. We recommend you to replace it with a new retort.
Muffle Chamber
When the chamber turns upside down for casting
●
operation, metal debris and etc. in the muffle
may result in miscasting or may attack muffle
heater to cause heater breakdown.
We recommend you to use a vacuum cleaner
or the dust collector provided referring to the
following recommendations.

collector with the opening to the left side on
the top of muffle.

2. Close the chamber lid to invert the chamber by your hand 180 degree and
then return the chamber to the original position.
3. Open up the chamber lid again to lift up the dust collector as horizontal as
possible and throw away the collected debris.
Chamber Lid Seal Ring
The dirt on the seal ring may not allow you to reach sufficient vacuum level
●
or vacuum may leak during pressure application. Use a clean wet cloth to
wipe the dirt on the seal ring before casting operation.
Exhaust Air Filter Check
The exhaust air filter on the back of the unit is for silencing of the release of
●
pressurized air when the unit operates casting. Make sure to check the filter
and when the filter is shaded in black, replacement with a new one is
recommendable.
