WARNING:- Never attempt to operate the Pouring Lever before the
metal in the pot is molten.
Never leave the crucible pot more than 50% full when
switching off the unit.
Always ensure that Flamefast recommended Lead Free
Pewter is used.
1. Starting The Unit
Place the separate tray on a level surface near to a 230V outlet socket.
Place the Low Temperature Casting System (LT1) in the tray so that the
front opening flap opens within the tray.
Plug the unit in to the 230V power supply.
On first use the unit may generate a very small amount of fumes as any
protective oil films are vapourised.
No extraction is required in regular use as the unit does not generate
fumes.
2. Loading The Unit
Open the swivel lid marked Hot Area on the top of the unit.
The unit as initially supplied by Flamefast is complete with approximately
1Kg. of Pewter.
Do not mix the Pewter with other alloys in the melting pot as the resultant
mixture will have an intermediate melting point.
Place the Pewter metal in the pot. The pot, when full, will hold just over
2Kg of metal although you will not be able to put this weight of cold metal
in initially. Stand the sticks of Pewter in the bottom of the pot. As the
bottom of the sticks melt, they will shrink down into the pot. If you require
more molten metal than is provided by the initial number of sticks, just add
more sticks.
