Thermal Safety
After running an experiment, allow the open
furnace and thermocouple to cool down before
you touch them.
During a sample run, the furnace base (see
Figure 1.1) can be hot enough to burn skin.
Avoid contact with the furnace base during
experiments.
Mechanical Safety
Keep your fingers and all other objects out
of the path of the furnace when it is mov-
ing. The furnace seal is very tight.
