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 VITA vPad control unit directly in the heat radiation area of the
firing chamber.
• Do not set up the device in such a way that it makes it 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.

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 platform 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.
9.5 Information about the identification plates
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 volts 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.

11
VITA VACUMAT®6000 M
9.6 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 socket to the lift plate.
Important! Never operate the device at any time without the firing
platform installed!
9.7 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 VITA vPad used.

12
VITA VACUMAT®6000 M
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 VITA vPad 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 and 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 the 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 to the effect that the
device corresponds to the essential requirements of European Community
Directive 2006/95/EC (Low-Voltage Directive) as well as European Community
Directive 2004/108/EC (EMC Directive).
12 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 device and contributes to the overall
operating safety. If the fan fails, an error message is shown on the display
(For information about this, refer to the Error Messages section for the
VITA vPad 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.

13
VITA VACUMAT®6000 M
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 VITA vPad to switch back on again is approx. 20 sec.
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
