1.5 Safe Handling of Ceramic Fibers
The thermal insulation of the firing chamber contains ceramic fibers that are classified as carcinogenic. These ceramic
fibers are firmly enclosed in the heat insulation and pose no danger to operators when using the unit as intended.
OSHA AND CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65: MUFFLE DUST EXPOSURE
In keeping with the policy of R&R to build safe products, comply with all national and state statutes and keep you, the
valued customer informed; the services of a certified industrial hygienist firm were employed to test and evaluate the
lab operator’s exposure to respirable refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) and cristobalite (a form of crystalline silica)
present in the furnace muffle.
The findings of this test revealed that levels of exposure during the normal operation of this equipment, as outlined in
the operator’s manual, were far less than the permissible exposure limit set by the Federal Government.
When it becomes necessary to replace the muffle, the person doing this work is recommended to wear a HEPA filter
respirator and protective gloves as a precautionary matter.
Seal used muffle in a plastic bag and dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
This product and many similar products on the market today contain crystalline silica and ceramic fibers. In addition,
there are thread lockers that contain a small amount of cumene. These products are used on the internal components
of the furnace and are not contacted during normal use of the equipment.
As a result, it is necessary under the statutes of California Proposition 65 that R&R includes the following statement:
“This product contains substance(s) known to the State of California to cause cancer.”
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for RCF materials supplied upon request.
1.6 Safety Instructions for Intended Use
• Repairs to the unit must only be carried out by an R&R authorized service technician
• Visible fiber deposits on opening accessible parts of the unit must be removed, e.g. wipe off with damp cloth or
vacuum off using HEPA filtered vacuum
• Blowing off with compressed air or sweeping with brooms or brushes in dry condition is prohibited
• If there are more visible fiber deposits in the device than usual, contact R&R technical customer service
• The use of damaged components containing ceramic fibers must not be continued, e.g. firing chamber insulation
material

5 Maintenance/Error Messages
To keep the equipment in good working order you should follow the guidelines below.
• Examine the equipment regularly for mechanical damage
• Do not use solvents or liquid cleaners on the control panel
5.1 Cleaning
• Clean the unit as needed
• Vacuum with HEPA filter dust and dirt from the furnace rather than blowing. This will minimize the amount of air
born dust particles
• Clean exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth using a mild detergent and water after unit has cooled
• DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER!
5.2 Temperature Calibration
Every Vulcan furnace is calibrated in the factory at 1000°C. Under normal use the furnace should not require
calibration. The electronics used in the Vulcan furnaces are very stable and will have minimal drifts over the life of the
furnace. Thermocouple replacement could be a potential requirement for calibration if high accuracy is required.
For example:
A furnace is operating at a stable temperature and a separate thermocouple is inserted in the furnace and a digital
thermometer measures the muffle temperature. The display shows 875°C which is the programmed temperature but
the digital thermometer reads 868°C (need +7°C offset adjustment).
Make sure the power switch is in the off position. Press and hold the knob in while turning on the power switch. Hold
the knob in for approximately 10 seconds until the offset screen is displayed. Release the knob. Turn the knob to the
desired offset. Press the knob to store the offset and return to the main display.
WARNING
This equipment contains dangerous voltages. Service and repair work should be carried out by R&R qualified
personnel or authorized by R&R.

9 Warranty
LIMITED WARRANTY: Seller warrants each new product sold to be free from defects in material and workmanship
under normal use and service. The obligation and liability of Seller under this warranty is limited to the repair or
replacement at its factory, at the option of the Seller, of any such product, which proves to be defective within one (1)
year after delivery, and is found to be defective in material or workmanship by Seller inspection. This warranty shall
not apply to any product which has been subject to misuse; negligence; or accident; or misapplied; or modified; or
repaired by unauthorized persons; or improperly installed.
Seller disclaims any liability arising from any failure of its products which is caused by, in whole or in part, the use in or
with products or component parts not manufactured by seller, or by an alleged defect related to design, labeling or
manufacturing specification supplied by buyer.
Seller’s liability for all claims, whether based on breach of contract, negligence, product liability, or otherwise relating
to the products, shall not exceed the dollar amounts paid by buyer under this contract. In no event will seller be liable
for any punitive, special, incidental or consequential damages (including without limitation, loss of use, loss of profit
and claims of third parties), however caused, whether by the negligence of seller or otherwise.
INSPECTION: Buyer shall inspect the product upon receipt. The buyer shall notify R&R in writing of any claims of
defects in material and workmanship within thirty days after the buyer discovers or should have discovered the facts
upon which such a claim is based. Failure of the buyer to give written notice of such a claim within this time period
shall be deemed to be a waiver of such claim.
DISCLAIMER: The provisions of the above warranty are R&R’s sole obligation and exclude all other remedies or
warranties, expressed or implied, including those related to MERCHANTABILITY and FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: Under no circumstances shall R&R be liable to the buyer for any incidental, consequential or
special damages, losses or expenses.
LIMITATION OF ACTIONS: The buyer must initiate any action with respect to claims under the warranty described in the
first paragraph within one year after the cause of action has accrued.
