4. MAINTENANCE/CARE and CLEANING
Maintenance procedures
Please note:
Voltage carrying components - Risk of fatal injury!
The kiln must be disconnected from the power source!
Authorised personnel may not begin the maintenance procedures
until a safety inspection has been carried out.
Care and cleaning
Ensure that no foreign matter is allowed inside the firing chamber or onto the heating
elements. This would inevitably cause the heating coils to malfunction during the next
firing. Should the firing chamber/heating elements come into contact with a foreign
substance, eliminate the problem immediately, because burnt-on foreign substances
can cause damage to the heating elements and the bricks. In the event of a serious
incident, contact us or your local specialist dealer.
Heating coils are subject to wear. Their resistance (ohm) increases with each firing,
and with time, causes a delay in the firing curve due to a decline in performance,
particularly in the higher temperature range. In the case of extreme wear, we
recommend replacing all of the heating coils, because replacing individual heating
coils can cause temperature differences within the kiln.
Please note : Previously fired heating coils are brittle and therefore prone to breaking
(not a warranty claim). Therefore, a subsequent correction to the heating coils should
be avoided!
Good to know:
Factors that affect the lifespan of a heating coil:
•
The interior kiln atmosphere: e.g., aggressive materials. Good ventilation is
particularly important for materials containing solvents, heavy sulphur or
fluoride.
