Unrepairable Model
※ All ”LL” models have been discontinued and cannot be repaired.
※ Model with analog dial type for temperature setting.
※ There are two types of temperature display: analog type and digital type.

Repairable Model
※ Model with digital temperature setting (set temperature and time with temperature controller)
※ There are two types of power switches, snap SW type and breaker type.
2. About cracks in the ELEPOT
The difference in the degree of thermal shrinkage due to the temperature difference between the high temperature part inside the furnace and the outside temperature of the ceramic causes cracks. This shrinkage stops to some extent, so apply the repair cement provided. In addition, since the hard ceramic furnace wall is wrapped with a cotton-like ceramic around the periphery, heat will not escape to the outside even if a crack occurs, and there is no problem with heat insu-lation performance. Also, open and close the lid at high temperatures in as short a time as possi-ble, and lower the temperature with the lid on until the furnace temperature reaches about 500°C.
3. About asbestos
Asbestos is not used in our electric furnace at all. It is safe because we have been using ceramic fibre for all insulation materials from the beginning.
