Clean up spills immediately. If necessary, wipe the cabinet carefully
with a damp cloth. Use water or a mild detergent only. Do not use
organic solvents or abrasive cleaning agents.

Parts of the furnace become very hot during use. To prevent burns, ALWAYS
allow the furnace to cool before touching.
Graphite Shroud and Electrodes
At frequent intervals, inspect the inside of the graphite shroud,
which is mounted in the centre cooling block. Also check the contact
surfaces of the electrodes.
