Chapter Five — Maintenance
Cleaning The Furnace
Your new furnace has been painted with an epoxy based
paint and may be cleaned by using a soft cloth and kitchen
cleaners such as Fantastic
®
or Formula 409
®
. The front
panel should be cleaned with a window cleaner such as
Windex
®
.
Never clean the display window with a dry cloth or tissue.
Always moisten the cleaning cloth with a cleaner such as
Windex
®
or water.
Only clean the table with Windex
®
or water and a towel.
Using other cleaners will harm the anodized surface.
USE WINDEX
®
OR WATER ONLY. YOU WILL
ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS IF 409
®
OR FANTASTIC
®
IS USED TO CLEAN THE TABLE.
Battery Replacement
Your furnace contains a battery that is used to maintain
power to the computer memory even when the power is
turned off. This battery should be replaced every 5 years,
and should be replaced with the power on. Contact your
dealer or Whip Mix to order new batteries and printed
instructions.
Software Version Upgrade
The furnace has a unique feature that allows the operator
to add new firing cycles whenever new materials come
to market.
As new porcelains and new techniques for firing porcelains
are introduced, the furnace can be easily upgraded.
New software versions will be available from your dealer
in a “Blue Smart Box.” Obtain the “Blue Smart Box” from
your dealer.
1. With the furnace on and the screen in the PRESS
MENU BUTTON state, press the Last button. This
will tell you the version of software currently on your
furnace. Example — VER. 2.06.02 PR, PR = Pro Press
100 and P1 = Pro 100.
2. Locate the door on the right side of the furnace.
Remove the two thumbscrews securing the door
to expose the parallel port.
3. Check the software version of the “Blue Smart Box”
to make sure the version is newer than the version
currently on your furnace. Example — 2.02.01** is older
than 2.05.01**. 2.05.01** is older than 2.05.03**, etc.
4. With the door removed, place the “Blue Smart Box”
onto the parallel port connector.
DO NOT USE THE WRONG VERSION OF SOFTWARE.
IF THE FURNACE IS A PRO PRESS 100,
THE VERSION NUMBER SHOULD RESEMBLE
2.06.02 PR OR 2.06.02 P1
IF IT IS A PRO 100. IF UNSURE, PLEASE CONSULT
CUSTOMER SERVICE.
