This chapter is especially important for individuals who work with
the Programat CS4 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 CS 4 has been especially designed for the sintering
and glazing of ZrO materials such as IPS e.max ZirCAD as well as
2
glazing and crystallization of IPS e.max CAD, for example. The
Programat CS4 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 CS4 must be properly maintained.
Do not use colouring liquids containing chlorine or hydro-
chloric acid in the Programat CS4 furnace. Due to the
aggressive components of the liquids, the furnace surfaces
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.
