Cleaning
The product's outer surface may be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not allow water to
enter the interior of the case or chamber. Do not clean with organic solvents.
Under no circumstances should any objects be placed on top of the product.

obstruction. Always ensure all cooling vents and cooling fans (if fitted) are

Calibration
After prolonged use, the controller and/or thermocouple may require recalibration. This
is important for processes that require accurate temperature readings or for those that
use the product close to its maximum temperature. A quick check using an independent
thermocouple and temperature indicator should be made from time to time to
determine whether full calibration is required. Carbolite Gero can supply these items.
Depending on the controller fitted, the controller instructions may contain calibration
instructions.
