1.1 Introduction Dear Customer Thank you for having purchased the Programat P510 G2. It is a state-of-the-art furnace for dental applications. The furnace has been designed according to the latest industry standards. Inappropriate use may damage the equipment and be harmful to personnel.
1. Introduction / Signs and Symbols 1.4 Notes on the different voltage versions The furnace is available with different voltage versions. – 110 – 120 V / 50 – 60 Hz – 200 – 240 V / 50 – 60 Hz In the Operating Instructions, the furnace is described in the 200 –...
2.1 Indications The Programat P510 G2 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 manufac- turer 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.
– 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 P510 G2 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.
3.1 General aspects The Programat P510 G2 is a modern ceramic furnace for dental applications. The firing chamber may be heated up to max. 1200°C 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.
There are no special transportation grips on the furnace. Support the bottom of the furnace to carry it. Check the delivery for completeness (see delivery form in Chapter 9) and transportation damage. If parts are damaged or missing, contact your local Ivoclar Vivadent Service Centre. We recommend keeping the original packaging for future service and transportation purposes.
4. Installation and Initial Start-Up 4.3 Assembly Assembling the furnace is very easy and involves only few steps. Before you start assembling the furnace, make sure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate complies with the local power supply. If this is not the case, the furnace must not be connected.
Page 17
4. Installation and Initial Start-Up Step 3: 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.
Page 18
Connect the vacuum pump plug (35) with the vacuum pump socket (34). We recommend using only a vacuum pump from Ivoclar Vivadent, since these pumps are especially coordinated with the furnace. If other pumps are used, please observe and do not exceed the maximum power consumption.
4. Installation and Initial Start-Up 4.4 Removing the furnace head Before the hood and the connection cover are removed, the furnace has to be switched off and the power cord disconnected from the power socket. 1. Loosen and remove the knurled screw (38) of the connection cover (37).

6. Practical Use Step 4: Load the furnace Open the furnace head with the OPEN FURNACE HEAD key and place the object on the firing tray in the furnace. With the Infrared Technology active, position the objects in such a way that the infrared camera has a wide view of the objects.
Firing trays that are not coordinated with the furnace or fitted firing trays can change the temperature at the objects by +/- 20 °C. Ivoclar Vivadent recommends using only the original Programat firing tray or the special Firing tray firing trays stipulated for the respective materials. If another firing tray is used, make sure that the height of the tray corresponds with that of the original firing tray.
