Begin by placing the furnace on a stable, non-flammable surface in a well-ventilated area, ensuring at least 30 cm clearance from walls . Connect the unit to a \u003Cstrong>220–240V, 50\u002F60 Hz, 1-phase, 15kW\u003C\u002Fstrong> power source using a dedicated circuit to prevent overload .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, configure the atmosphere system by attaching gas lines to the appropriate inlet ports. Select your desired atmosphere (e.g., N₂, Ar, or H₂) via the control panel, ensuring gas purity meets process requirements . For hydrogen use, never exceed 5% concentration to avoid explosion risks . If using rough vacuum, connect a compatible vacuum pump and verify seals before operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calibrate the temperature controller by running a test cycle with a known reference material. Set the desired ramp rate (max 15°C\u002Fmin) and hold time .
