    2.1 Indications The Programat P310 must only be used to fire dental ceramic 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.
  • Page 10 2. Safety First Do not carry the furnace head by the cables, since the cables and connections may be damaged. The furnace head has an electric drive and must be operated by means of the electronic controls. Never open the furnace head by hand, since the mechanism will be damaged.
  • Page 11 2. Safety First Do not touch the thermocouple and the quartz tube in the firing chamber. Avoid contact with the skin (grease contamination), as the parts may be prematurely damaged. Do not insert any foreign objects into the air vents. There is a risk of electrical shock! This product contains ceramic fibres and may release fibre dust.

    – 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 P310 is still a brand new furnace.
  • Page 13 The furnaces must not be disposed of in the normal domestic waste. Please correctly dispose of old furnaces according to the corresponding EU council directive. Information regarding disposal may also be found on the respective national Ivoclar Vivadent homepage. The packaging may be discarded with the regular household refuse.
