To clean the furnace quartz sample tube, use the
following procedure:
Do not disturb the hangdown wire and
furnace thermocouple located directly
above the furnace when cleaning the fur-
nace, as damage may result.
1. Press the FURNACE key to open the
furnace completely.
2. Remove any sample pans.
3. Remove the rubber cap located on the
underside of the furnace base.
4. Place a small cup under the furnace tube.
Rinse the furnace tube using a solvent (such
as alcohol) to remove debris. The solvent
will drain out of the bottom of the tube into
the cup.
5. Using a soft bristle brush (we recommend a
flexible bottle brush), gently slide the brush
up and down to clean out the inside of the
furnace tube, allowing the handle to bend
freely (see Figure 5.1 on the next page).
