2.2 Health and safety instructions

This furnace has been designed according to EN 61010-1 and has been shipped from the manufacturer in excellent condition as far as safety regulations are concerned. To maintain this condition and to ensure risk-free operation, the user must observe the notes and warnings contained in these Operating Instructions.

– The user must especially become familiar with the warnings and operating conditions to prevent injury to personnel or

damage to materials. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage resulting from misuse or failure to observe the Operating Instructions. Warranty claims cannot be accepted in such cases.

– Before switching on the furnace, make sure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate complies with your local pow-

er supply. – The mains socket must be equipped with a residual current operated device (RCD). – The power plug acts as a circuit breaker and may only be connected with an easy-to-access power socket with protec-

tive contact. – Use only the power cord originally supplied with the furnace. It must not be replaced by insufficiently rated ones. – Place furnace on a fire-proof table. Observe local regulations (e.g. distance to combustible substances or objects, etc.). – Always keep the air vents at the rear of the furnace free from obstruction. – Do not touch any parts that become hot during operation of the furnace. Burn hazard! – When removing hot components from the firing chamber (e.g. firing table, firing tray), make sure to place them on a

fire-proof surface. – Clean furnace only with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use any solvents! Disconnect power before cleaning and allow the fur-

nace to cool down! – The furnace must be cool before it is packed for transportation. – Use original packaging for transportation purposes. – Before calibration, maintenance, repair or change of parts, the power must be disconnected and the furnace has to be

cool if it has to be opened. – If calibration, maintenance or repair has to be carried out with the power connected and furnace open, only qualified

personnel who are familiar with the risks and dangers may perform the procedures. – After maintenance, the required safety tests (high voltage resistance, protective conductor, etc.) have to be carried out. – Make sure that only fuses of the indicated type and rated current are used. – If it is assumed that safe operation is no longer possible, the power must be disconnected to avoid accidental operation.

Safe operation is no longer possible – if the furnace is visibly damaged. – if the furnace does not work. – if the furnace has been stored under unfavourable conditions over an extended period of time. – Use only original spare parts. – The temperature range for faultless operation is +5°C to + 40°C. – If the furnace has been stored at very low temperatures or high atmospheric humidity, the head has to be opened and

the furnace dried or left to adjust to room temperature for approx. 4 hours (do not connect the power yet). – The furnace is tested for use at altitudes of up to 2000 m above sea level. – The furnace may only be used indoors. – Before leaving the factory, the furnace functions were tested for several hours. It is therefore possible that these tests

have caused slight discolouration of the insulation. Nevertheless, your Programat P710 is still a brand new furnace.

Any disruption of the protective conductor either inside or outside the furnace or any loosening of the

protective conductor may lead to danger for the user in case of malfunction. Deliberate interruptions are not tolerated.

Materials developing harmful gases must not be fired!

Warnings regarding the dismounting of the heating muffle

This product contains ceramic fibres and may release fibre dust. Fibre dust has proved to be carcinogenic in

animal experiments. The heating muffle may only be dismounted by a qualified Ivoclar Vivadent After Sales Service Centre. Information regarding the Safety Data Sheet is also available from your Ivoclar Vivadent After Sales Service Centre.

5.1.6 Description of the speaker sounds

– Upon closing the furnace head below 100°C

– After the self-test is completed

To inform the user that an automatic self-test has been successfully completed, a preset, non-changeable melody is

played.

– Furnace head open and temperature below 560°C

To inform the user that the temperature in the open furnace head has dropped below 560°C, the selected melody is

played (5 seconds). In other words, the furnace head is basically cool enough for the next program start. The signal

transmitter can only be ended with the STOP key.

– Furnace head open and temperature below 360°C

To inform the user that the temperature in the open furnace head has dropped below 360°C, the selected melody is

played. If the first playback (10 seconds) is not acknowledged with the STOP key, a second playback sounds after

5 minutes (for 5 minutes) to signal that the furnace head is cooling down. After that, no further signal is played. If one of the two playbacks is acknowledged with the STOP key, the signal transmitter is switched off and no further

signals will be sounded.

There is a risk of crushing upon closing the furnace head. If the furnace head is closed below 100°C, the user is notified of this risk by an acoustic signal.

– For error messages

Error messages are acoustically supported with the "error melody" (endless beep). The signal transmitter may be

switched off with the STOP key, while the error message still remains visible. If the error message is acknowledged with

the corresponding button, the signal transmitter is also switched off.

Blue Program is in long-term cooling or is opening the furnace head

Progress display:

During an active process, the progress of the program is also shown by the OSD. This is done by stage-to-stage lighting up of the lateral OSD (12b).

The furnace is performing the self-test or is not ready for use, as the recommended temperature range for a program start has not yet been reached.

5.1.8 User code

For safety reasons, a user code is required for certain settings. The user code ex factory is as follows:

1234

The user code can be individually changed. See Chapter Settings 5.4 for details.

5.2 Firing programs and programming options

5.2.1 Program structure

The furnace offers several types of programs:

a. Programs for Ivoclar Vivadent materials b. 700 free, individually adjustable programs b. 700 free, individually adjustable programs on a USB stick

The program types are subdivided into program groups. Each program group consists of 20 programs.

All programs are equivalent and therefore full-fledged programs. For each program, all the parameters can be adjusted.

a) Programs for Ivoclar Vivadent materials (See enclosed Program Table) When the furnace is delivered ex works, the Ivoclar Vivadent programs already contain the recommended material parameter settings and are write-protected. Consequently, it is not possible to accidentally overwrite the programs.

However, the parameters can be changed and overwritten at any time, if required, if the programs are to be used for other purposes. Therefore, these programs are also available as individual programs.

In case of software updates, individually changed parameters in Ivoclar Vivadent programs might be reset to the

factory settings or changed!

b) Free, individually adjustable programs

The programs are designed in such a way that they can be either used as conventional one-stage programs, as two-stage programs or, if required, as three-stage programs. The programs and program groups can be individually named.

In case of software updates, individually changed parameters in individual programs are NOT reset to the factory

settings or changed!

5. Operation and Configuration

c) Free, individually adjustable programs on a USB stick

In a first step, a USB stick must be prepared as program memory (see Chapter 5.4). The programs are designed in such a way that the can be either used as conventional one-stage programs, as two-stage programs or, if required, as three-stage programs. The programs and program groups can be individually named.

In case of software updates, individually changed parameters in individual programs are NOT reset to the factory

settings or changed!

5.2.2 Program selection

The program selection requires only few steps:

1. Select program type

2. Select program group

3. Select the program

4. Start program or edit program parameters

The firing program can now be started or, as an alternative, the program parameters can be changed.
