VERDER CARBOLITE GERO HTF 18/27, Installation, Operation And Maintenance Instructions

Page: 63 / 72

Ensure that the element is correctly placed: the thin part of the element legs should be
entirely within the heating chamber; the element should not touch the bottom of the
chamber. A guide to the correct placement is given in the table below, using the
measurement from the top of the clamp to the top of the element.
Replacement: heat up the furnace to a moderate temperature and ensure that the
furnace is controlling properly, in case the previous element failure resulted from a fault
in the control system.
After installing new elements operate the furnace at 1500 °C for an hour. This creates a
protective glaze on the element surface.
