With holders 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 y 6, set the counterweight far from the axel.
With bigger rings, it is neccesary moving the counterweight next to the axel.
Use the short peak crucible with 60 mm rings, and the long peak crucible with 55 mm rings.
Heating cycle
The actual casting procedure can be carried out after the mould ring has been removed and the wax has
been burnt out.
Note: The hot mould ring can either be placed in the mould container just before starting the
melting procedure or after the ingots have been preheated in the crucible using the
preheating function. This prevents the mould ring cooling down too much.
Risk of burns on contact with the crucible or mould ring.
Always use tongs to remove the hot mould ring after casting.
