1.8 Safety instructions for commissioning
1.7 Safety instructions for transport and storage
1.6 Safe handling of ceramic fibres
The thermal insulation of the firing chamber and the firing base or pressing base (only Multimat® Cube press)
contain ceramic fibres that are classified as carcinogenic. These ceramic fibres firmly enclosed in the heat
insulation and in the firing base or pressing base (Multimat® Cube press only) and pose no danger to operators
when using the unit as intended.
Safety instructions for intended use:
• Repairs to the device may only be performed by Dentsply Sirona.
• Visible fibre deposits on openly accessible parts of the unit must be removed, e.g., wiped o with a damp
cloth or vacuumed o using approved filters.
• Blowing o with compressed air or sweeping with brooms or brushes in dry condition is prohibited.
• If there are more visible fibre deposits in the device than usual, contact the technical customer service of
Dentsply Sirona.
• The use of damaged components containing ceramic fibres must not be continued, e.g., firing chamber
insulating material, firing base, pressing base (Multimat® Cube press only).

4.4 Setting the pressing pressure (Multimat® Cube press only)
If the pressing pressure is reduced, it may take a few seconds for the display in the top bar to react, as the
compressed air lines in the Multimat® Cubepress will still be under increased pressure, which will drop only
slowly. The tolerated dierence between the current pressure and the pressure entered in the pressing
program is +/- 0.2 bar.
If the current pressure exceeds or falls below the tolerance limit before the start of the pressing program, the
pressing program cannot be started and the operator is instructed to check the pressing pressure.
If the tolerance limit is exceeded or not reached during the execution of a pressing program, a message will be
displayed after the end of the program. The pressing process will not be aborted.
Pull the pressure control upward to unlock it (1).
Adjust the pressing pressure with the pressure
control (2). The current pressure will be shown
in the upper right corner of the display.
Increasing the pressing pressure:
Turn the pressure control clockwise
until the desired pressure is reached.
Reducing the pressing pressure:
Turn the pressure control counterclockwise
until a value below the desired pressing
pressure is displayed.
Then turn the pressure control clockwise
again until the desired pressure is reached.
Push the pressure control downward to lock it (3).
