• The MIHM-VOGT laboratory furnace should be set up only in dry areas and should not get in
contact with liquids. In the area of the furnace, furniture and other objects cannot consist of
explosive, combustible or easily inflammable materials. In the installation area of the furnace, no
easily inflammable or combustible gases or liquids are allowed to be stored.
• Modifications of the MIHM-VOGT laboratory furnace can only be made after prior written
agreement from us. We are not liable for damages caused by your modifications. Before every
maintenance, the appliance is to be turned off and the power-supply plug is to be pulled out.
• The furnace must always be connected to a separate circuit protected by a 15/16 Amp fuse.
• The hot furnace door should only be touched at the grip; the hot muffles should only be touched
with sufficiently long tongs. Because of the wax fumes and the steam from casting rings, the
furnace should be equipped with an exhaust blower or catalyzer and placed under a fume
extraction hood. The fumes are to be extracted to the outside.
• The ceramic tray is to be used to protect the heating muffle. The furnace must never be used
without the ceramic tray. Cracked or damaged ceramic trays must be replaced immediately.
