5.2.1
Cleaning
Soot deposits may form inside the furnace, depending on the process. At appropriate
intervals remove these by heating as indicated in the General Operation Notes.
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.

Element Ageing
Silicon Carbide heating elements gradually increase in resistance with use and the
power of the furnace gradually declines until the furnace can no longer keep up with its
program. To maximise the element life it is advisable to follow the recommendations
below:
a. Do not run the furnace at higher temperatures than you need. See section 4.7.2.2.
b. Do not select unnecessarily fast ramp rates. See section 4.7.2.2.
There is a feature in the Software which allows the power from the elements to be
adjusted. This 'power limit' is pre-set at Carbolite Gero. As the element performance
declines the available power can be increased to compensate. The maximum power
figure available is 100 (%), if the furnace performance is still poor when the power is set
to 100 (%) the elements must be replaced.
To adjust the power settings proceed as follows:
With the software open, select 'tools' 'Calibration' from the text menu bar.
The 'Controller Calibration Settings' window will appear.
At this stage it is a good idea to write down the original power limit value.
In the 'Power Limit' number box either enter a value directly or use the up and down
arrows to adjust the % power limit.
