1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Manual Contents Organization
This manual is intended for users of the Radiant Technology infrared furnace system. The
manual will help in understanding the machine's capabilities, uses, routine maintenance, and

Section 3 will be of specific interest to personnel who will set up and operate the furnace
system. The service manual, beginning with Section 4, contains detailed information,
