Maintenance, Cleaning, Diagnosis; Monitoring And Maintenance - Ivoclar Vivadent Programat P710 Operating Instructions Manual

7. Maintenance, Cleaning, Diagnosis

This chapter describes the user maintenance and cleaning procedures for the Programat P710. Only those tasks are listed
that may be performed by dental professionals. All other tasks must be performed by qualified service personnel at a
certified Ivoclar Vivadent Service Centre.

7.1 Monitoring and maintenance

The time for these maintenance procedures depends on the frequency of use and the working habits of the users. For that
reason, the recommended times are only approximations.
Hazardous area
Check all plug-in connections for correct fit.
Check if the furnace head opens smoothly and without excessive
noise.
Check if the thermocouple is straight and in the right place
Check the insulation for cracks and damages. If the insulation is
worn down it has to be replaced by a certified Ivoclar Vivadent
After Sales Service Centre. Fine hairline cracks on the surface of the
insulation are harmless and do not adversely affect the function of
the furnace.
Check if the sealing rims of the furnace head and furnace base are
clean and undamaged.
Check the membrane-sealed keypad for visible damage. If the
membrane-sealed keypad is damaged, it has to be replaced by a
certified Ivoclar After Sales Service Centre.
Conduct temperature check:
Use the temperature checking set to check and adjust the
temperature in the furnace.
Check the quartz glass cylinder to make sure the quartz glass is not
defective.
Check if there is condensate in the vacuum hose or firing chamber.
This furnace has been developed for typical use in dental laboratories. If the product is used in a production
enterprise, for industrial application and for continuous use, premature ageing of the expendable parts has to be
expected. The expendable parts are, e.g. the heating muffle, furnace head seal or the insulation material.
Expandable parts are not covered by the warranty. Please also observe the shorter service and maintenance intervals.
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.
