Dear Customer
Thank you for having purchased the Programat®CS6. It is a
state-of-the art sinter, crystallization and glaze furnace for
dental applications.
The Programat CS6 is suitable for the sintering and glazing of
zirconium oxide materials such as IPS e.max®ZirCAD as well as
the crystallization and glazing of e.g. IPS e.max CAD. The
furnace has been specifically developed for these purposes.
Inappropriate use may damage the equipment and be harmful
to personnel.
Please observe the relevant notes and read the Operating
Instructions carefully.
We hope you enjoy working with the Programat CS6.
Introduction

1 Indications
Intended purpose
Furnace for dental restorations for the sintering and glazing of zirconium oxide materials such as IPS e.max ZirCAD as well
as for the crystallization and glazing of e.g. IPS e.max CAD.
Use
The Programat CS6 is a sintering, crystallization and glazing furnace for the dental field. It was specifically
developed for use in the dental office. The firing chamber may be heated up to max. 1560°C (2192°F) 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. Electronic components with the corresponding software monitor and control the firing programs. Additionally, the
set and actual temperatures are continuously compared.
Use the Programat CS6 exclusively for the sintering, crystallization or glazing of dental ceramic materials. Other uses than
the ones stipulated, e.g. cooking of food, firing of other materials, etc., are contraindicated. The manufacturer does not
assume any liability for damage resulting from misuse. The user is solely responsible for any risk resulting from failure to
observe these Instructions.

2 Application
2.1 Installation and initial start-up
2.1.1 Unpacking and checking the contents
Remove the furnace components from their packaging and place them on a suitable table. Please observe the instructions
on the outer packaging.
There are no special transportation grips on the furnace. However, it can be carried by the grooves on the sides of the
furnace bottom. The furnace should be carried by two people. If this is not possible, the device should be carried with the
rear of the furnace facing the body for ergonomic reasons. The furnace must not be carried by holding on to the display or
the cooling tray. Check the delivery for completeness (see delivery form in Chapter 8) 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.
2.1.2 Selecting the location
The device is only permitted for use in closed rooms within the specified ambient conditions (see Chapter 6).
Place the furnace on a flat non-combustible table using the rubber feet. Make sure that the furnace is not placed in the
immediate vicinity of heaters or other sources of heat. Make sure to observe a clearance between the wall and the rear of
the device as well as on the left side of at least 10cm for air circulation purposes. Furthermore, there must be sufficient
space above the furnace head so that the furnace head can open without difficulties. Also ensure that there is enough
space between the furnace and the user, as the furnace releases heat during the opening of the furnace head.
The furnace should neither be placed nor operated in areas where there is an explosion hazard.
2.1.3 Initial start-up
The start-up of the furnace is very easy and involves only few steps. Before you start, make sure that the voltage indicated
on the rating plate (32) complies with the local power supply. If this is not the case, the furnace must not be connected.
Mount the tong holder left or right on the back of the furnace.
Connections
– Power connection
Please make sure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate
complies with the local power supply. Subsequently, connect the power
cord (35) with the power socket of the furnace (33).
The device must only be operated with the supplied original power cord
or a replacement cord with the same specifications.

– Vacuum pump connection
Connect the vacuum pump plug (26) with the vacuum pump socket (25).
We recommend using a vacuum pump from Ivoclar Vivadent, since these
pumps are especially coordinated with the furnace. If other pumps are
used, always observe and do not exceed the maximum power
consumption specified on the rating plate at the rear of the device.
Connect the vacuum hose (30) with the vacuum hose connection (29).
Do not shorten the vacuum hose!
The minimum length of the vacuum hose is 1.6 m.
– Connect the power cord with the wall socket.
– Put the On/Off switch (34) at the rear of the furnace on position I.
Please note that the furnace may require a certain acclimation
time (up to four hours) after having been transported. This is
particularly true if the furnace was exposed to substantial
temperature changes (water condensation). Switch the furnace on only after the acclimation time.
Basic settings upon initial start-up
Upon the initial start-up of the new furnace, a number of basic settings are required. These settings are saved and can be
edited in the settings menu at a later time.
Step 1:
Select the language
The first setting is the language selection. The touch buttons (display keys) can be operated by tapping the display.
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
Select the desired language using the [Arrow up/down] buttons. Confirm the entry with the green button. By pressing
the [Continue] button, you will reach the next entry screen.
Step 2:
Select the temperature unit
Select the desired temperature unit.
By pressing the [Continue] button, you will reach the next entry screen.
