  • Daily: Clean the glass door with a dry cloth. Clean the muffle opening and press piston with a specialized ceramic clean (e.g., Ivoclean) or a soft brush – never a metal tool.
  • Weekly: Check the press piston bushing for wear; lubricate only with recommended high-temperature grease (specified brand and type).
  • Monthly: Perform a calibration check using the supplied calibration foil kit. The manual provides the exact procedure to measure piston force and adjust if needed.
  • Annually: Replace the thermocouple (temperature sensor) as a recommended preventative part, with instructions for recalibration.

Rather than guessing, the manual forces a logical, stepwise diagnosis that saves time and materials.
