7. Maintenance, Cleaning and Diagnosis

This chapter describes the user maintenance and cleaning procedures for the Programat EP 3010 G2. 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 Center.

7.1 Monitoring and maintenance

The time for these maintenance procedures depends on the frequency of use and the working habits of the users.
Therefore, the recommended times are only approximate values.
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
Service Center. Fine hairline cracks on the surface of the insulation
are harmless and do not influence the function of the furnace in a
negative fashion.
Check if the sealing rims of the furnace head and furnace base are
clean and undamaged.
Check the keypad for visible damage. If the keypad is damaged, it
has to be replaced by a certified Ivoclar Service Center.
Check the temperature:
Use the temperature checking set to check and adjust the tem-
perature in the furnace.
Check the quartz glass cylinder to make sure that 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 applications and for continuous use, premature ageing of the expendable parts has to
be expected. The expendable parts are, e.g. the heating muffle, the furnace head sealing rim 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.
