1. Introduction / Signs and Symbols
1.1 Preface
Dear Customer
Thank you for having purchased the Programat S1. It is a sinter
furnace for dental laboratories requiring such a furnace for the
CAD/CAM technique. The Programat S1 permits the sintering of ZrO
materials. It has been especially designed and constructed for this
purpose.
The furnace has also been designed according to the latest industry
standards. However, inappropriate use may damage the equipment
and be harmful to personnel. Please observe the relevant safety
instructions and read these Operating Instructions carefully.
Enjoy working with the Programat S1.
1.2 Signs and symbols
The signs and symbols in these Operating Instructions facilitate the
finding of important points and have the following meanings:
Risks and dangers
1.3 Notes regarding
these Operating Instructions
Furnace concerned: Programat S1
Target group: Dental technologists
These Operating Instructions facilitate the correct, safe and economic
2
use of the Programat S1 furnace.
Should you lose the Operating Instructions, extra copies can be
ordered at a nominal fee from your local Ivoclar Vivadent
Service Center or downloaded from the Internet free of charge
(www.ivoclarvivadent.com).
1.4 Notes regarding the different voltage versions
The furnace has been designed for the following voltage range:
118–240V / 50-60 Hz
No manual switch-over is required for the use of the different
voltage versions. Make sure that the local power supply complies
with the voltage indicated on the rating plate before operating the
furnace.

2. Safety First
This chapter is especially important for personnel who work with the
Programat S1 or who have to carry out maintenance or repair work.
This chapter must be read and the corresponding instructions
followed.
2.1 Indications
The Programat S1 is intended to sinter ZrO2 ceramic materials used
in dentistry and it should be used for this purpose only. Other uses
than the ones stipulated, e.g. cooking of food, firing of other materials etc., are contraindicated. The manufacturer does not assume any liability for damage resulting from misuse. The user is solely responsible for
any risk resulting from failure to observe these Instructions.
Further instructions to assure proper use of the furnace:
– The instructions, regulations and notes in these Operating
Instructions must be observed.
– The instructions, regulations and notes in the material’s
Instructions for Use must be observed.
– The furnace must be operated under the indicated environmental
and operating conditions (see Chapter 9).
– The Programat S1 must be properly maintained.
Do not use colouring liquids containing chlorine or hydrochloric acid in Programat S1 furnaces. Due to the aggressive
components of the liquids, the furnace surface or individual
parts may be chemically corroded or damaged.
If colouring liquids containing chlorine or hydrochloric acid are used,
irritating gases may develop during the heating phase. These gases
pose a risk to users particularly when infiltrated frameworks are not
correctly pre-dried.
2.1.1
Contraindication
The furnace must not be carried by the
cooling tray.
2.1.2
Contraindication
The furnace head must not be carried
by the cables, since cables and connections may be damaged by such action.
2.1.3
Contraindication
The furnace head must not be
removed from the furnace head while
it is still connected to the heater cable.
2.1.4
2.1.5
Contraindication
The furnace head is equipped with an
electric drive and can be operated by
means of the electronic controls. Never
open the furnace head by hand, since
this will damage the transmission.
Contraindication
Do not touch the thermocouple and
the heating element in the sintering
chamber. Avoid skin contact (grease
contamination), since this will
speed up the degradation of the
components.

2.1.6
Contraindication
2.1.11
Burn hazard
2.1.7
2.1.8
Contraindication
Contraindication
Never use the furnace without the
sinter tray. Use only the original S1
sinter tray. Do not use the firing trays
or honey-combed trays from conventional ceramic furnaces. Furthermore,
check the sinter tray for damage, cracks
or contamination before every sintering
cycle. If the table is damaged, it must no
longer be used. A maximum of one
sinter tray is to be placed in the
sintering chamber. Do not stack the
sinter trays.
Firing trays must not be placed in the
area surrounding the firing table, since
this will obstruct the closing of the furnace head.
Foreign objects must not be placed on
the furnace head or the air vents.
Make sure that no liquids or other foreign objects enter the air vents, since
this may result in an electrical shock.
Never place objects in the sintering
chamber by hand, since there is a burn
hazard. Always use the sinter tray fork
(accessories) supplied for this purpose.
Never touch the hot surface of the
furnace head, as there is a burn
hazard. Please also refer to the
warnings on the furnace.
2.1.12
Risk of crushing and burn hazard
Never reach under the furnace head
with the hand or other parts of the
body during operation, since there is a
risk of crushing and a burn hazard.
2.1.13
Risks and dangers
This product contains ceramic fibres
and may release fibre dust. Do not use
compressed air, or blow, on the
furnace, thus distributing the dust in
the environment, and observe the
additional notes on page 11.
2.1.9
2.1.10
Contraindication
Contraindication
Make sure that no liquids or other
foreign objects enter the furnace.
Do not insert any foreign objects into
the air vents. There is a risk of
electrical shock.
2.1.14
Risks and dangers
Do not use the furnace without
spacer, since the distance to the back
wall has to be kept!
2.1.15
Risks and dangers
The furnace must not be operated if the heating element
in the sintering chamber is damaged. There is a risk of
electric shock upon contact with the heating wire.
