9 Installation and first use
9.1 Installation location
• Install the device in a dry, heated room. The distance to the closest wall
should be at least 25 cm. (see sect. 7. Ambient conditions)
• When the temperature is below 15 °C (59 ºF) (e.g. after transport),
leave the device to stand for approx. 30 minutes before using it
for the first time at room temperature.
• Ensure that the device is on a heat-resistant surface.
The radiation and heating of the device is in the non-hazardous range.
However, heat-sensitive surfaces of furniture and veneers could become
somewhat discolored over time due to the constant influence of heat.
• Prevent direct sunlight from coming into contact with the device.
• Do not place any flammable objects in the vicinity of the device.
Do not place the control unit directly in the heat radiation area
of the firing chamber.
• Do not set up the device in such a way that it becomes difficult
to press the main switch and pull out the power supply cord.
Before using for the first time, read the corresponding operating manual
for the control unit

9.6 Information about the identification labels
This pictogram warns of hazardous voltage. Before opening the
device, it must be disconnected from the mains power supply by
pulling out the mains switch.
After the back-plate has been removed, a voltage of up to 400 volts
may still exist in components in the area of the power supply unit
on the circuit board, even when the device is switched off.
Do not place any objects in the area of the lift plate.
When the device is switched on, the lift will move down to the
lower position. When putting down the firing objects, use the
laterally extendable storage plates.

VITA VACUMAT 6000 MP
Never start up the device without the firing socket attached.
In continuous operation (max. final temperature, max. firing time), some parts
of the firing chamber may reach high temperatures (above 70 °C (158 ºF)).
Do not reach into the open firing chamber when the device is switched on.
There is a risk of touching electrically live or hot parts.
9.7 Connecting the device to the mains power supply
Important: Before first use, read sect. 6 on safety signs!
For information about the connections, see sect. 9.2
• Attach the connection cable to the control unit and the furnace.
• Plug in the status display.
• Connect the vacuum pump, power supply and tube connection.
• Connect the device to the mains power supply using the supplied
mains power cable.
• Install pressure tube for pressing mechanism.
Important: Avoid connecting to multiple-outlet power strips with
extension cords. In the event of overloading, a risk of fire exists.
• Switch on the device at the main switch.
The lift moves to the lower position.
• Clean or wipe the lift plate and the lift plate gasket (dust particles from
the insulation are deposited during transportation of the device).
• Attach the firing socket to the lift plate.
• To accommodate the investment ring, 2 firing sockets are provided,
each with 2 pressure discs of different diameters.
Important: For the purposes of pressing, always insert both
pressure discs into the firing socket.
Important: Never start up the device without the firing socket
attached!
9.8 Switching off the device, or stopping its operation
When the device is not in operation, the lift should be moved into the
firing chamber and the device must be switched off at the main switch
(see sect. 9.2). Closing the firing chamber protects the insulation and prevents
the absorption of moisture.
For instructions on how to do this, please read the operating manual
of the corresponding control unit.
