software during sintering, and the target and actual temperature in the furnace
can be displayed in real time.
The F20 smart sintering furnace includes
the following components:
- 1 sintering furnace body
- 1 hearth base and 1 hearth
- 3 sintering tray with cover
- 1 pack of sintering beads
- 1 sintering tweezers
- 1 power cord
02 Product Description
5) No objects can be placed on the top of F20, and no liquids are
allowed to enter the interior;
6) F20 works at a high temperature, so it needs good ventilation.
Do not use it in a humid environment to avoid abnormal accidents;
7) When using the F20, pay attention to the operating conditions,
and the faulty pop-up window needs to be resolved in time;
8) When cleaning and maintaining the F20, the power must be cut
off, and do not carry out with electricity;

furnace, turn on the power, click the up button on the operation
interface, and wait for the lifting plaform to rise to a certain
level. After the height is reached, click the pause button, the
lifting platform stops lifting, and then take out the shock-
absorbing foam under the lifting platform.
Step 3: Click the down button to lower the lifting platform to the
lowest level, then place the hearth base on it, and finally place
