2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following instructions must be observed in order
to avoid personnel injury or equipment failure.
CAUTION!
the furnace must not be run by an operator who
is not acquainted with these instructions;
before turning on the plug in the net contact
check if the voltage in the electrical network
correspond to the working tension. In case of
discrepancy, consult a specialist;
on no account do not alter the device;
the notices and stickers must be kept in good
condition so that they are easily readable; they
should not be removed!
the machine must not function in case of being
damaged and in position to injure the staff or a
third person;
keep the cables out of heat, oil and coarse
objects; do not catch the device by the cable
when you move it.
switch off the furnace and pull out the plug of
the feeder cable from the contact before each
cleaning or upkeep.
spare parts which are not specified by the
manufacturer cannot be used!
If the machine is used by such means not indicated by
the manufacturer, the provided protection can get worse!

TEMPERATURE CORRECTIONS BY THE USER
IMPORTANT!
Carefully remove modules from packages;
Make sure that the mains voltage is ~230V and
the contact is reliably grounded.
Connect pump supply cable to the terminal with
label "VACUUM PUMP" on the rear panel;
Connect the power supply cable to the terminal
with label "POWER" on the rear panel;
Connect vacuum hose to the vacuum fitting with
label "VACUUM” on the rear panel.
The net switch is on the rear panel, on the right.
Put the furnace in a position which enables its
easy engaging turning off from the master
switch as well as from the contact.
It is possible to calibrate the temperature T within
the limits of plus/minus 50°C. In order to do this you
must proceed with the following steps: open the
furnace; switch it off; switch it on again while
pressing the buttons "RUN" and "STOP" at the same
time. Now you are in service mode. You see the
following indication on the display:
0:00:00 000 0XXX
TERMO CORRECT: + 0000
The current value of the correction can be changed
with the turning of the multi-functional rotary knob.
Push the button “PROG” to store the new value.
After turning on the furnace it will show SELF
TESTING for a few seconds. Do not release the
buttons before you hear the sound of the buzzer -
otherwise you will not enter into the mode for
temperature adjusting but in normal operating
mode.

PARAMETERS AND PROGRAMMING
In order to change the value of a parameter it is
necessary to do the following steps:
There are two possible ways of leaving the programming
mode after you have finished with the changes in the
parameters’ value:
FIRST EXIT:
SECOND EXIT:
With the multi functional rotary knob MFRK chose
the program which parameters you want to change;
Press button PROG. Indicator of the button RUN
begins to blink green/red and you can see on the
display:
XX : YYYYYYYYYY VIEW
PROGRAM NAME
The letter expressions means:
ХХ - number of program;
VIEW - view data;
YYYYYYYYYY –name of program;
PROGRAM NAMЕ- parameter which to be changed;
PROGRAM NAMЕis the first parameter which is
shown when you enter in PROGRAM mode. Turn
left/right the MFRK in order to chose the parameter
you want to change;
Press button RUN in order to chose the value of the
parameter you want to change. If you have chosen
the first parameter you would see on the display:
XX : YYYYYYYYYY EDIT
PROGRAM NAME
Indicator of the button RUN turns off and the red
indicator on the button STOP begins to blink.
Turn the MFRK to change the parameter value.
Press button STOP in order to leave the programming of
the current parameter. Indicator of the button RUN
begins to blink again in green/red which means that it is
possible to program next parameter.
press button ESC. This will CANCEL all the changes that
are made in the parameters’ value in the program.
press button PROG. This will SAVE all the changes that
are made in the parameters’ value permanent.
The indicator of button RUN will flash in green in working
mode if the temperature defined by the parameter IDLE
TEMP is reached and if the temperature is not
reached it will flash in red

ATTENTION!
Values of the parameters FIRE RATE, FIRE TEMP и FIRE
TIME can be changed during the execution of the
program. This can be done with the buttons PROG, ESC
and and with the turning of the multifunctional knob
MFRK.
If you press the button PROG during the execution of a
program the value of the parameter FIRE RATE will blink
on the display and with MFRK will be able to change the
programmed value.
Button ESC changes parameter FIRE TEMP, and button
changes parameter FIRE TIME.
When programming the temperature conditions for
parameters IDLE TEMP, DRY TEMP and FIRE TEMP the
program temperature cannot be lower than this of the
previous parameter and at the same time higher than
this of the next parameter.
There is a possibility for fast changing of parameters
which have TEMPERATURE and TIME dimensions. When
you push the button and rotate the MFRK the value
will change by 100 points, and by pushing and rotate
the MFRK the value will change by 10 points.

7. IMPORTANT PRACTICAL INFORMATION
1. Avoid positioning of furnace and pump in the
immediate vicinity of heat sources (radiators).
2. Install the vacuum pump in a well-ventilated
locations. Ensure that the apertures in the frame plate
are free and that no foreign object can fall into the
furnace base.
3. Avoid placing any objects on the frame plate, place
only on the face cooling plate.
4. Ensure that the sealing ring in the furnace head and
the sealing rim of the furnace base are kept clean and
undamaged.
5. Always keep the firing chamber closed between firings.
6. It is strongly recommended to use porous ceramic tray
(on request - № 81022).
WARNING! For the proper work of the furnace it is
necessary to hold the furnace in stand-by mode for at
least 0.5 hours. After switching on the furnace close the
dome and wait 0.5 hours.
7. If the power supply is interrupted during the working
process and:
a. If the temperature in the chamber has not
decreased by more than 15 degrees, the current
program will continue from the stage at which it
has been stopped.
b. If the temperature in the chamber has decreased
by more than 15 degrees, the following message
will appear on the display:
LONG TIME POWER OFF
In this case the program cannot continue. You have to
press the button STOP in order to exit this state.
The total number of the programs is 100 - with numbers
from 0 to 99. Programs from №1 to №20 have
parameters for ceramic NORITAKE.The manufacturer has
entered equivalent parameters in all other programs.
It is responsibility of the customer to enter the data for
the ceramic that he uses before he starts working.
