The instrument is designed according to state of the art technology and
recognized safety standards.
However, if it is used inappropriately, hazards for the health and safety of the
user or third parties, as well as the risk of damaging the instrument and other
material property, may arise.
Unauthorized modes of operation
The operation of the instrument with power sources, products, etc., which
are subject to hazardous materials regulations or could have any negative
impact on the health of the operating personnel when using equipment
modified by the user are not permitted.
Authorized modes of operation
The operation of the device is only permitted if this operating manual has
been completely read and understood and the procedures described in it have
been observed.
Any other or additional use, e.g., processing of products other than those

The manufacturer/supplier will not be liable for any damage resulting from
such unauthorized use.
The risk of such use is borne exclusively by the user.

6 Operation and cleaning of the control unit
Do not operate the control unit with sharp-edged or hot objects. This
causes damage to the touch screen.
Clean the display at regular intervals with a screen cleaner. This cleaner does
not cause any scratches, has an antistatic effect and prevents re-soiling.
Damage to the display resulting from improper use during operation
or cleaning is excluded from the warranty.
6.1 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.

7 Safety functions
If the furnace is operated with a VITA vPad comfort / VITA vPad excellence
control unit, it is equipped with the following safety and monitoring
functions:
• Temperature sensor monitoring
• Temperature monitoring
• Vacuum monitoring
• Power failure protection
• Lift monitoring
Additional functions while operating the VITA VACUMAT 6000 MP:
• Pellet detection for VITA press pellets
• Press path detection
7.1 Mains power supply failure
The instrument is equipped with power supply failure protection.
This component prevents a program cancellation and hence 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.
Failure of the mains power supply for a period shorter than
approximately 15 sec.
The firing program is not cancelled; the display does not work for this period.
Once mains power is supplied again, the starting image is displayed; after
activating the Material button, the running program reappears in the display.
Failure of the mains power supply for a period greater than
approximately 15 sec.
The program is cancelled and the display is out of order.
Once mains power is supplied again, the starting image is displayed again.
Once mains power is supplied again, the time required for the
control unit to switch back on again is approximately 20 seconds.

8 Automatic temperature calibration
The temperature is automatically calibrated each time the furnace is
switched on.
This temperature calibration takes into consideration and corrects all
deviations occurring in the electronic components for temperature
measurement and temperature regulation.
Therefore, a constant temperature control of +/- 1 °C is achieved even with a
long operating time of the instrument.
