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 also Section 7. Ambient conditions).
• When the temperature is below 15°C (e.g., after transport), leave the device
to stand for approx. 30 minutes at room temperature before using it for the
first time.
• Ensure that the surface where the device is installed is heat-resistant.
The radiation and heating of the device is within a non-hazardous range.
Nevertheless, 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 makes it difficult to press the main
switch and pull out the power supply cord.
Before using the device for the first time, read the corresponding operating
manual for the control unit.

9.6 Information about the identification plates
This pictogram warns the user about hazardous voltage. Before
opening the unit, always disconnect the device from the mains
current by unplugging the AC adapter.
After the back plate has been removed, a residual voltage of up to
400 V may still be present 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. For setting down firing objects, use the laterally extendable
storage plates.

Note

11
VITA VACUMAT®6000 MP
Never operate the device in any case without the firing socket installed.
In continuous operation (max. firing temperature, max. firing time), some parts
of the firing chamber may reach high temperatures (above 70°C). Do not reach into
the open firing chamber when the device is switched on. There is a risk of touching
electrically live and hot parts.
9.7 Connecting the device to the mains voltage
Important! Before first use, please read Section 6 Safety Information!
For information about the connections, refer to Section 9.2
• Attach the connection cable to the control unit and the furnace.
• Plug in the status display.
• Connect the vacuum pump, electrical connection and tubing connection.
• Connect the device to the mains power supply using the mains power cable
supplied.
• Install the pressure tube for the pressing mechanism.
Important! Avoid electrical multiway socket outlets with extensions,
as there is a risk of fire with overload.
• 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 available, each with
2 pressure discs with different diameters.
Important: For pressing, always insert both pressure discs into the
firing socket.
Important! Never operate the device in any case without the firing
socket installed!
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 Section 9.2).
Closing the firing chamber protects the insulation and prevents moisture
absorption.
Please read the operating instructions for the control unit used.

VITA VACUMAT®6000 MP
10 Cleaning the furnace
Before each cleaning operation, remove the power supply plug!
It is not necessary to clean the inside of the firing chamber.
Cleaning the casing of the firing chamber at regular intervals with a damp cloth
contributes to its operating safety.
In all cleaning work, you must never use any detergents or flammable
liquids.
10.1 Cleaning firing for the firing chamber
Consult the operating manual of the control unit for information about the cleaning
firing.
10.2 Firing chamber insulation
The firing chamber contains ceramic mineral fibers as insulation material
(Index No. 650-017-00-08), which is classified as a CAT 2 carcinogen
(Annex VI, EC 1272/2008).
When working with the firing chamber or exchanging the firing muffle, fiber dust
may be discharged. Exposure to this dust can potentially be carcinogenic on
inhalation, as well as result in irritation of the skin, eyes and respiratory organs.
When exchanging the firing muffle, please proceed as follows:
• Wear long-sleeved protective clothing
• Wear safety goggles as well as protective gloves
• Use a dust vacuum system or wear a FFP 2 respirator.
Once work has been completed, rinse dust from unprotected skin using cold water.
Wash workwear separately from everyday clothing.
11 CE mark
With the CE mark, a legally binding declaration is made that the device meets
the essential requirements of European Community Directive 2006/95/EC (Low-
Voltage Directive) as well as of European Community Directive 2004/108/EC (EMC
Directive).
12 Fans
The device is equipped with two fans. The fans are temperature-controlled .
Activation, deactivation and speed of the fans are controlled automatically.
The fans prevent excessive heating of the device itself and the pressing
mechanism and contribute to the overall operating safety.
If a fan fails, an error message is shown on the display (for information about this,
refer to the Error Messages section of the control unit’s operating manual).
For safety reasons, the device should not be operated without a fan. The upper
cover of the firing chamber and the openings in the rear cover must not be closed
or blocked.

VITA VACUMAT®6000 MP
13 Mains power supply failure
The instrument is equipped with power supply failure protection. This component
prevents a program interruption and any incorrect firing in the event of a brief
failure of the mains power supply. The power failure protection is activated as
soon as the mains power supply fails when a firing program is running.
Mains voltage failure time less than approx. 15 sec.
The program continues to run and is not interrupted. The display is out of
order during this period. Once mains power is supplied again and the program
interruption is over, the running program reappears in the display.
Mains voltage failure time longer than approx. 15 sec.
The program is interrupted and the display is out of order. Once mains power is
supplied again, the display indicates that there was a power failure.
Important! Once mains power is supplied again, the time required
for the control unit to switch back on again is approx. 20 seconds.
14 Warranty and liability
The warranty and liability are based on the terms and conditions stipulated in the
contract.
In the event of software modifications without the knowledge and approval
of VITA Zahnfabrik H. Rauter GmbH & Co. KG, all liability and warranty claims are
invalidated.
