Problem Cause Solution
What can I do if... The selected temperature is too high – Reduce the temperature
and the sample oxidizes – Put a glass fiber filter on top
of the sample
Sample boils or scorches – Reduce the sample quantity
and the splashes continuously or apply the sample more evenly
change the sample weight – Select a semi-automatic shutoff
parameter or select the timer mode
Analysis time is too long – Increase the temperature
– Reduce the sample quantity

3 minutes with an empty sample pan
Sample loses weight – Remove the sample pan and apply
before it is analyzed the sample outside the sample chamber

Insufficient heat output – Clean the protective glass or
temperature sensor
