Before performing any cleaning and maintenance ensure you have reviewed Furnace Overview and Safety and have a clear understanding of the vacuum furnace components and construction and any potential safety hazards.
The following is only a guideline of when maintenance needs to be performed based on “average usage” of the vacuum furnace. Depending on the specific use case, certain procedures may have to be performed more or less frequently.
