This chapter is especially important for personnel who work with the 2.1.1
Programat P300/G2 or who have to carry out maintenance or repair
work. This chapter must be read and the corresponding instructions
followed. Risks and dangers
The furnace head should not be
removed from the furnace base as

materials 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 2.1.2
Instructions.

Further instructions to assure proper use of the furnace: Risks and dangers
– The instructions, regulations and notes in these Operating Instruc- Make sure that no liquids or other
tions must be observed. foreign objects enter the furnace.
– The instructions, regulations and notes in the material’s Instruc-
tions for Use must be observed.
– The furnace must be operated under the indicated environmental
and operating conditions (Chapter 9).
– The Programat P300/G2 must be properly maintained.

2.1.3

Contraindication
Firing trays must not be placed in
the area surrounding the firing
table, since this will obstruct the
closing of the furnace head.

2.1.4

Contraindication
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.

2.1.5

Risks and dangers

Never place objects in the firing
chamber by hand, since there is a
burn hazard. Always use the tongs
(accessories) supplied for this pur-
pose. Never touch the hot surface
of the furnace head, as there is a
burn hazard. Please also refer to
the warnings on the furnace.

3.3 Functional description

The firing chamber may be heated up to max.
1200 °C (2192 °F) by means of a heating element.
Furthermore, the firing chamber has been
designed in such a way that a vacuum may be
created with a vacuum pump. The firing process is
controlled with the corresponding electronic con-
trols and a software. Moreover, the set and actual
temperatures are continuously compared.

Mounting the furnace head
The complete furnace head is best mounted with
the rear panel of the furnace pointing towards the
user. Lift the furnace head with both hands (see
picture) and carefully position it on the furnace
head mounting (43).

Ensure that the furnace head mounting mark (41)

is aligned with the furnace base mounting mark
(42).

Make sure that the firing plate (5) is

not damaged by mounting the furnace

Step 4:
Connections
Connect the cables of the furnace head with the
furnace base. Proceed as follows:
– Insert the thermocouple plug (26) (make sure
that the polarity of the plug is correct)
– Insert the heater plug (28)

Connect the vacuum pump plug with the vacuum
pump socket (18).

We recommend using only the VP3 easy or VP4 18

vacuum pumps from Ivoclar Vivadent, since these
pumps are especially coordinated with the furnace. 16
If other pumps are used, please observe and do not
exceed the maximum power consumption.

4.4 Removing the furnace head
Before the hood (36) is removed, the furnace has
to be switched off and the power cord (16)
disconnected from the power socket (17).

1. Loosen and remove the knurled screw (37) of

the hood (36)
2. Remove the hood (36)
3. Disconnect the thermocouple plug (26)
4. Disconnect the heater plug (28)
5. Press the leaf spring (32) with a finger, lift off
the furnace head at the same time and
remove it

Make sure the furnace head

has completely cooled down
before it is removed (fire

Automatic plausibility check

The furnace is equipped with an automatic plausibility check function. The parameters
(e.g. T 960 but L 1000) are checked upon each program start. In case of contradictory
parameter combinations, the program stops automatically and the respective error

In general, the furnace head should not be replaced since the components
(furnace head and furnace base) have been coordinated with each other.
However, if the furnace head must be replaced for maintenance reasons,
subsequent temperature calibration is required.
