7. Maintenance, Cleaning, and Diagnosis
This chapter describes the user maintenance and cleaning procedures
for the Programat CS. All the 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. For that
reason, the recommended times are only approximations.
What
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 hair-
line 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 the 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 Vivadent Service Center.
Check temperature.
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.
If the furnace head is replaced, the furnace must be calibrated.
7.2 Cleaning
The furnace may only be cleaned when it is cool, since
there is a burn hazard. Do not use any cleaning solutions.
The following parts have to be cleaned from time to time:

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 as follows:
– Heating muffle
– Insulation material
Expendable parts are not covered by the warranty. Please also
observe the shorter service and maintenance intervals.
