2.2 Health and safety instructions

This furnace has been designed according to the applicable
standards 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
the 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 power
supply.
– The power socket must be equipped with a residual current circuit
breaker.
– The furnace must be plugged into a socket with protected
contacts.
– 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 the operation of
the furnace. There is a burn hazard.
– Clean the furnace only with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use any
solvents! Disconnect power before cleaning and allow the furnace
to cool down!
– The furnace must be cool before it is packed for transportation
purposes.
– 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 the furnace open, only qualified personnel
who are familiar with the risks and dangers may perform these
procedures.
– After maintenance, the required safety tests (high voltage
resistance, protective conductor, etc.) have to be carried out.
– Ensure that only fuses of the indicated type and rated current are
used.
– If it is assumed that safe operation is no longer possible, the pow-
er must be disconnected to avoid accidental operation. Safe oper-
ation 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
(+41 °F to +104 °F).
– 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 CS4 is still a brand new furnace.
The Programat CS4 must not be used in the immediate
vicinity of patients.
Any disruption of the protective conductor either inside
or outside the furnace or any loosening of the protective
conductor connection may lead to danger for the user
in case of malfunction. Deliberate interruptions are not
tolerated.
Materials developing harmful gases must not be fired.
Warning regarding the removal of the sintering chamber
This product contains ceramic fibres and may release fibre
dust. Fibre dust has proved to be carcinogenic in animal
experiments.
The sintering chamber may only be dismounted by a quali-
fied After Sales Service Centre. Information regarding the
Safety Data Sheet is also available from your After Sales
Service Centre.
Disposal:
The pump must not be disposed of in the normal
domestic waste. Please correctly dispose of old
furnaces according to the corresponding EU
council directive. Information on the correct
