the sintering program or select a defined sintering program.
Hearth Up Button: Click this button and the hearth will rise.
Temperature display box: Display furnace temperature in
real time.
Time display box: display the remaining sintering time in
real time during sintering.
Settings box: Click this box to change password settings.
Fault display box:
1) Click this box, the fault code table will pop up.
2) When the F20 is sintering
Power port: connect the configured power cord to this

1) Sintering control button:
when the hearth is not raised to the proper position or there is a faulty pop-up, the
button cannot be activated for sintering; Otherwise, when click the sintering control
button, the triangle on it will turn into two vertical lines and the sintering will start;
then click it again, the two vertical lines will turn into triangle, and the sintering will be
stopped.
2) Fault display box:
Click on the fault display box, and a fault code table will pop up. When the fault code
pops up during the use of the F20 sintering furnace, fault cause can be found out
from this fault code table, and the fault can be solved according to the corresponding
solution.
3) Setting box:
Click the setting box to pop up the circuit calibration and setting password box. The
circuit calibration module is only open to the technical support of UP3D TECH. A
password is set for the customer to manage the defined sintering program, prevent-
ing others from tampering with the defined program.
Data reset and temperature calibration are not available, please contact the techni-
cian if you need to operate.
Click the Enter password box to enter the password input interface.

If the 6-digit password is correct, you can enter the program parameter interface
where parameters can be edited.
The white boxes in the parameter setting areas of heating, temperature, and temp.
preservation in the program parameter interface represent different definitions, and
the range of parameter values that can be input is also different.
Note that the boxes totally white in below picture is currently undefined and no
parameters cannot be put in.
Click the defined parameter setting box, the numeric keyboard will pop up, enter the
appropriate parameter value in the numeric keyboard, click OK, the parameter setting
for the defined box is completed, after setting the corresponding parameters accord-
ing to different zirconia models and different restoration types.
Click the save setting box, the program name and corresponding parameter settings
are saved.
Click the program name box, an alphabetic keyboard box will pop up, click the CAPS-
LOCK box to switch between Chinese and English input, switch to Chinese to input
Pinyin, and click the left and right switching buttons to turn pages.
Find the required text and click, you can enter the text, repeat the above operations to
input the program name, and click OK to complete the input of the program name.
Note that the program name can only input 7 Chinese or 14 English letters.

and automatically adjustment of the target temperature,
which can be observed at a distance.
When a fault occurs, a pop-up window can be displayed
in time to show the fault code, and the corresponding
problem of the fault code can be found on the screen
warning page, which is convenient for maintenance.

Control the temperature for stopping cooling, effective value range:
400℃-1000℃
(Notes: If the input temperature is between 800°C-1000°C, the
cooling will be according to the cooling rate; If lower than 800°C,
after the fourth stage of heat preservation, the heating will be
stopped and will not control the cooling rate, the cooling will be
according to natural cooling.)

Unpack the F20 smart sintering furnace to check whether the components are complete
and whether they are damaged due to transportation; if there are incomplete compo-
nents or damage due to transportation, please contact technical support of UP3D TECH
for solutions.
Note: It is recommended to keep the package for future transportation.
Step 1: Place the main body of the F20 sintering furnace on the workbench surface
specified in 1.2 Operation Precautions.
Step 2: Insert the power cord into the main body of the sintering furnace, turn on the
power, click the up button on the operation interface, and wait for the lifting plaform
to rise to a certain level. After the height is reached, click the pause button, the lifting
platform stops lifting, and then take out the shockabsorbing foam under the lifting
platform.
Step 3: Click the down button to lower the lifting platform to the lowest level, then
place the hearth base on it, and finally place the hearth on the hearth base. After the
assembly is completed, the F20 smart sintering furnace can be used normally.
