Replacing a Thermocouple
To replace a thermocouple, follow the procedure below:
1.
Disconnect the plastic thermocouple connector plug from the base of the furnace by
gently pulling up on the connector plug.
CAUTION:
Do not bend the thermocouple severely as this may damage it. If the
thermocouple appears old, worn, or broken, replace it (P/N N5321002).
ATTENTION:
Ne pliez pas le thermocouple avec précaution car cela pourrait
l'endommager. Si le thermocouple est vieux, usé ou cassé, remplacez-le (P/N
N5321002).
2.
Remove the tip of the thermocouple from inside the furnace by pulling the
thermocouple straight down toward the bottom of the furnace.
3.
Using the old thermocouple as a guide, carefully bend the new thermocouple in the
way the old thermocouple was bent
4.
Take the new thermocouple and, while looking inside the furnace, feed the tip of the
new thermocouple through the thermocouple slot in the furnace stem until it is
approximately 1 or 2 mm below the half-height of the furnace wall.
