3 Installation / Standby temperature
1. The furnace must be positioned at least 25 cm from nearest wall.
2. Connect furnace to mains using cable supplied.
3. Switch on furnace by pressing ON / OFF. The firing tray lift is lowered.
4. Place firing tray on lift.
5. Connect vacuum pump by inserting plug into socket (G). Push vacuum pump hose over nozzle (H). Both
(G) and (H) are at rear of furnace.
6. Select standby using function keys (cursor up / down) and press START. Firing tray lift is raised and
furnace heats to standby temperature. Once standby temperature has been reached, the furnace is
ready for firing using any programme.
Changing standby temperature: see OPTIONS. Factory calibrated standby temperature: 500°C.
4 Main menu / Selecting a programme
STANDBY: see INSTALLATION / STANDBY TEMPERATURE.
OPTIONS: see OPTIONS
When the furnace has been switched on, the display shows the following main menu:
OXYDATION, OPAQUE FIRING, DENTINE FIRING, GLAZE FIRING, MISCELLANEOUS
Apart from these five items, STANDBY or FAST COOLING can be selected using the cursor keys UP /
DOWN. Up to 60 programs under each item can be freely selected. To select a firing program the cursor is
positioed on the respective item using the sursor UP / DOWN keys. The program number is entered using
the numericial block (10), and START (8) pressed. The display shows the corresponding firing profile, time
and temperature values. Pressing STOP (9) recalls the main menu. Settings for programs numbered 1 to 60
may be entered under all five above mentioned items.
FAST COOLING:
When the firing tray lift is in a low position, the selection of this item activates the vacuum pump. The furnace
