MAINTENANCE
Fuse
The Thermoform 580 is fitted with a 1 A slow glass fuse. The U-profile in
which the element is mounted has a non-conductive coating. In case of
accidental short circuiting between the resistance wire and the
aluminium the safety fuse will blow before damage is done to the
transformer.
Heating element
A 1.5 mm thick wire with the correct resistance is used. The wire will
wear gradually and eventually it will break. Then it should be replaced.
Using a different type of wire may cause irreparable damage.
Replacement heating elements are obtainable at your supplier.
