Routine Maintenance
Cleaning Instructions
It is the user’s responsibility not to use decontamination
or cleaning agents that could cause a hazard as a result
of a reaction with parts of the equipment or with material
contained in it. In order to be sure that such a reaction
will not occur, we recommend using only a damp cloth
moistened with water to clean the furnace. Never clean the
display window with a dry cloth or tissue. Always moisten
the cleaning cloth with water before wiping the screen.
Note: If hazardous material is spilled on or inside the
furnace, contact Whip Mix Technical Support if there is any
doubt how to safely remove the material.
Power Failure
1. If a power failure occurs, the SinterPro memorizes
the conditions prior to the loss of power. When power
returns, the SinterPro returns to the same point in the
program.
2. When power is returned, the
HR:MIN light flashes
indicating that a power failure has occurred.
It
continues to flash until START / STOP is pressed.
NOTE:
The HR:MIN light flashes if the power switch
is turned off and on while a program is running and
START / STOP was not pressed. It will not flash if the power
switch was turned off or a power failure occurred when the
PROGRAM READY light was on.

CAUTION:
The SinterPro Sintering Furnace should be

unplug the power cord and wait for the furnace to cool
before performing any service operation. For help with

Fan Filter Cleaning (Weekly)
Carefully remove the filter guard by unsnapping the guard to
gain access to the cellular foam filter. Rinse the filter clean
and dry it by blotting it on a paper towel. Slip the filter foam
back inside the guard and press the guard back in place.
An alternative method is to vacuum the filter in place with
the nozzle of a hand vacuum or shop vac.
An Er10 error code indicates the fan filter is clogged and
the fan has slowed measurably. This error is a reminder
to clean the filter and will not preclude operation but it
will not stop showing up until full fan speed is restored.
An Er11 error code indicates the fan has stopped
turning. This error will inhibit further use of the oven
until the cause is remedied.
CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW THE FILTER TO BECOME
CLOGGED WITH DUST OR THE CIRCUIT BREAKER CAN
TRIP DUE TO THERMAL OVERLOAD. DO NOT DISCARD
THE FILTER OR DUST CAN ENTER THE ELECTRONICS
AND DAMAGE THEM.
