6. Cleaning and replacing the quartz glass / ceramic
annealing tube
Before cleaning / replacing, wait until the
device cooled down, then remove the power
plug (12) from the power outlet and remove
the connector (10) from the power socket (5).
For cleaning / replacing purposes the ceramic annealing tube
(3b) can be removed easily at the rear side of the unit. For
this purpose unscrew the retaining screws (9) of the splash
guard (7) on the back of the device. Remove splash guard
(7) and take out depth stop (8). Now pull out carefully the
ceramic annealing tube (3b). The annealing tube is made
of ceramic and can be easily cleaned while slightly wet,
using a commercially available non-alkali cleaning agent.
While the ceramic annealing tube (3b) is removed, the
heating element made of quartz glass (3a) can be easily
cleaned as well, slightly wet, using a commercially available
non-alkali cleaning agent. Pipe cleaners or bottle brushes are
recommended for the cleaning. After the cleaning, put the
ceramic annealing tube (3b) and the depth stop (8) back into
the quartz glass heating element (3a) and reinstall the splash
guard (7).
Do not heat up the unit without assembled
ceramic annealing tube (3b)!
