PRODUCT SERVICE

Three methods of product service are available for the VULCAN. The first is telephone
assistance available at the numbers listed below. The second is to return the furnace for
servicing using the instructions below. The final method is to call Degussa-Ney at the
phone numbers below and obtain a service manual for a nominal fee.

BEFORE RETURNING THE FURNACE, DO THE FOLLOWING:

• Remove all firing trays, shelves and other loose items from inside the muffle. Pack the

muffle with the original foam block or newspapers to prevent shipping damage to the
heating plates.

• The original packing material should be used for the return shipment. Contact Degussa-

Ney for replacements if they are not available.

• Call Degussa-Ney for a RMA number (Return Material Authorization). This is used to

track and identify your furnace. Material received without this number may not be
identifiable.

• Equipment damaged in shipment as the result of improper packing may not be paid by

the carrier. Degussa-Ney Dental Inc. will not be responsible for damages resulting
from improper packing.

• Never operate furnace in close proximity to combustible materials or place

materials on top of the furnace.

• Caution: To provide continued protection against risk of electric shock,

connect to properly grounded outlet only.

• The furnace must be electrically grounded to a three wire electrical outlet or

receptacle. The electrical service provided must be a dedicated line of the
proper size according to local electrical codes.

• Disconnect the line cord before attempting to service the furnace.

• Do not attempt to service the furnace until you read and understand the

service manual. (See Service Manual under Accessories on page 11)

• Do not operate the furnace controls with tongs or other tools; the tongs will

damage the control switches.

• Do not use solvents or liquid cleaners on the control panel; they will enter the

panel and damage it.

• Do not place firing trays or other hot objects directly in front of the furnace; they

will melt the graphic overlay.

• Always verify that the power switch light is off before attempting to load or

reach into the furnace chamber with any tools or instruments.

• As a routine working precaution, always wear safety glasses and protective

gloves when operating, loading and unloading the furnace.

• The furnace is not equipped with overcurrent protection on the AC primary. In

the event that an overcurrent condition occurs, the building's branch circuit
overcurrent protection (fuse or circuit breaker) will be the primary means of
protection.

OSHA AND CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65: MUFFLE DUST EXPOSURE

In keeping with the policy of Degussa-Ney Dental Inc. to build safe products, comply with all
National and State statutes and keep you, the valued customer informed; the services of a
Certified Industrial Hygienist firm were employed to test and evaluate the lab operator’s
exposure to respirable refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) and crystobalite (a form of crystalline
silica) present in the furnace muffle.

The findings of this test revealed that levels of exposure during the normal operation of this
equipment, as outlined in the operator’s manual, were far less than the Permissible Exposure
Limit set by the Federal Government.

When it becomes necessary to replace the muffle, the person doing this work is recommended
to wear a HEPA filter respirator and protective gloves as a precautionary matter.

Seal used muffle in a plastic bag and dispose of in accordance with local, state and Federal
regulations.

Because this product and many similar products on the market today contain crystalline silica
and ceramic fibers, it is necessary under the statutes of California Proposition 65 that
Degussa-Ney Dental Inc. include the following statement:

“This product contains substance(s) known to the State of California to cause cancer.”

Material Safety Data Sheets for RCF materials supplied upon request.
