2. Safety First
This chapter is especially important for individuals who work with the Programat EP 3010 G2 or who have to carry
out maintenance or repair work. This chapter must be read and the corresponding instructions followed!
2.1 Indications
The Programat EP 3010 G2 must only be used to press and 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 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.
Further instructions to assure proper use of the system:
– The instructions, regulations and notes in these Operating Instructions must be observed.
– The instructions, regulations and notes in the material‘s Instructions for Use must be observed.
– The system must be operated under the indicated environmental and operating conditions (Chapter 9.3).
– The Programat EP 3010 G2 must be properly maintained.
Risks and dangers
The furnace head should not be removed from the furnace base as long as
the furnace head is connected by means of the heater cable.
Make sure that no liquids or other foreign substances enter the furnace.
Burn hazard: Never place objects in the firing chamber by hand, since there is
a burn hazard. Always use the tongs (accessories) supplied for this purpose.
Never touch the hot surface of the furnace head, as there is a burn hazard.
Do not carry the furnace by the cooling tray.

10
The furnace head must not be carried by holding the cables, as there is a
risk of damaging the cables and the corresponding connections.
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.
The furnace must not be operated if the quartz tube or the insulation in the firing chamber is damaged.
There is a risk of electric shock upon contact with the heating wire. Avoid damage of the insulation by
contact with the investment tongs or firing tongs.
Contraindications
Firing trays must not be placed in the area surrounding the firing plate, since
this will obstruct the closing of the furnace head.
Foreign objects must not be placed on the furnace head or the air vents.
Make sure that no liquids or other foreign objects enter the air vents, since
this may result in an electric shock.
Never use the furnace without a firing plate.
