*: Prolonged operation of the pyrolyzer at a furnace temperature higher than 800°C will shorten the furnace heater life.
When operating at 800°C or higher, keep the operation time less than 20 minutes. If it is operated at 800°C or higher
for a prolonged period time, contact us at cs@frontier-lab.com. When the pyrolyzer is in a standby state, we
recommend that the furnace temperature should be kept below 200°C. This will extend the furnace heater life.
