2.3 Insulation material of the firing chamber
The insulation of the firing chamber contains ceramic mineral fibers (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. Dust may be harmful if inhaled and cause
irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory system. Therefore, always follow
these instructions when replacing parts of the firing chamber:
– Wear long-sleeved protective clothing.
– Wear safety goggles, as well as protective gloves.
– Use a dust vacuum system or wear a FFP 2 respirator.
– In case of skin contact, wash the dust off with clear running water.
– Wipe off released dust with a damp cloth. Do not blow or sweep away dust.
2.2 Intended use
The firing, sintering and press furnaces from VITA Zahnfabrik were designed
and built for use in dental technology. Are they used for firing, sintering and
pressing dental-specific materials.
Any other or additional use, such as heating food, processing hazardous
substances or products, other than those intended for the firing process,
is considered improper. The manufacturer will not be liable for any damage
resulting from such unauthorized use. The risk of such use is borne exclusively
by the user.

VITA VACUMAT®6000 M
The manufacturer is not liable for accidents to the user occurring
when the device is open!
Never operate the device in any case without the firing base installed.
In continuous operation (max. final 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, as well as hot parts.
8.5 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 VITA vPad 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.
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 base to the lift plate.
Important! Never operate the device in any case without the firing
base installed!
8.4 Information about the identification plates
9.2 Hazardous voltage 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.
Residual voltage 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.
Note 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.

VITA VACUMAT®6000 M
8.6 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 instructions for use of the VITA vPad used.
9 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.
9.1 Cleaning firing for the firing chamber
Consult the instructions for use of the VITA vPad for information about the
cleaning firing.
10 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).
11 Fan
The device is equipped with a fan. The fan is temperature-controlled. Activation,
deactivation and speed of the fan are controlled automatically. The fan prevents
excessive heating of the unit and contributes to overall operational safety.
If the fan fails, an error message is shown on the display (for information about
this, refer to the Error Messages section of the VITA vPad instructions for use).
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.

14
VITA VACUMAT®6000 M
12 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 downtime 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 downtime 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 VITA vPad to switch back on again is approx. 20 sec.
13 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.
13.1 Spare parts
Spare parts must comply with the technical requirements specified by the
manufacturer. This is always ensured when using original VITA spare parts.
