0.2 General
The correct processing of modern dental
ceramic materials is placing even higher
demands on dental technicians. We
believe that the VARIO PRESS 330000
furnaces meet these requirements by
providing the latest technology for current
and future ceramic processing.
The software installed in the VARIO 330000
series enables you to optimize firing
management for all layered and pressed
ceramics available on the market and
guarantees maximum levels of perfor-
mance in processing the press-to-metal®*
technique.
The use of materials of the highest quality
increases the lifetime of the furnace,
enabling you to reproduce optimal results
over many years.
Our priority is to ensure that you will be
able to produce top-quality ceramic
prosthesis using our VARIO 330000 furnaces
for many years. We will therefore keep
you informed of any changes to the soft-
ware or extension of the processing
possibilities.
We hope that the ceramic furnace
provides you with great success and
satisfaction and congratulate you on
the choice you have made.

0.5 Use within specifications
Caution
The VARIO PRESS® 330000/ VARIO 330000
furnace series was exclusively designed
for firing and/or pressing dental
ceramics.
The user is liable for all damages
resulting from usage other than that
specified by the manufacturer.
At temperatures above 1075°C/1967°F,
the working life of the heating muffle is
reduced.
In case of defect of the furnace, the
stated warranty will apply provided that
use conforms to the specifications
within this manual.
Repairs and maintenance may only be
performed by our authorized Customer
Care Center.
o not touch the screen with wet
fingers. Never use hard or sharp objects
to operate the touch screen.
Soldering inside the oven will negate the
warranty.

0.4 Basic settings
Once you have turned on the device, and
the firing or pressing tray has been put in,
you can enter the basic settings. The oven
will prompt you to enter a few basic
settings in preparation for use.
Please enter the following:
Main menu ⇒additional settings
⇒basic settings ⇒Enter
1. Set the standby temperature
2. Set the night mode temperature
3. Set the date and time
4. Set the temperature unit (°C or °F)
5. Set the display
6. Activate the parameter preview „yes“
or „no“
7. After completing the basic settings the
furnace automatically runs a drying pro-
gram, to remove any possible residual
moisture resulting from transportation
or storage (duration approx. 20 min.)
8. Once the drying program is completed,
a 4 minute vacuum test is executed,
during which the vacuum pump gene-
rates vacuum for 2 min. and then
during further 2 min. the firing cham-
ber is tested for leaks. At the end of
the vacuum test, the display will
prompt you to set the vacuum level
based on the results of the test.
Using the dialer or +/- buttons, deduct
20mm from the "end" value displayed
on the right of the screen and enter
that value as your vacuum level.
Example:
Vacuum End = 760mm
Set Vacuum Level to 740mm.
Confirm with „yes“ and select your
individual vacuum level with the dialer
resp. the plus-/minus key. From the
value achieved you should generally
deduct 20mm
(e.g. achieved value 760mm – 20mm
= 740mm individual vacuum value)
9. Setting the language
f using the Vario as a combination or
dedicated ceramic furnace we recom-
mend setting the idle temperature to
the lowest entry temperature of your
ceramic brands.
f using the Vario as a dedicated pres-
sing oven, we recommend setting the
idle temperature to the lowest entry
temperature of your pressable ceramic
brand (700°C/1292°F).
General notes
If you are using the VARIO PRESS®
330000 strictly as a firing oven, make sure
the device is constantly connected to
compressed air. Otherwise the position
of the pressing plunger may stay in it's
extended position and damage objects
on the firing tray
The warm-up program on the "Main
Menu" has been pre-defined as a pre-
heating program and should be executed
at the beginning of each working day.
This
program ensures that the firing chamber
is heated homogeneously to a uniform
temperature and removes any condensa-
tion inside.

Muffle Dust Exposure
This furnace contains respirable refrac-
tory ceramic fibers (RCF) and crystalline
silica in its thermal muffle insulation.
These materials may be in the form of
fiber blanket or felt, vacuum formed
board or shapes, mineral wool slab or
loose fill fiber.
●Normal use of the furnace does not
result in any significant level of air-
borne dust from these materials.
However, when it becomes necessary
to replace the muffle, the person
doing this maintenance and repair
work may be exposed to much higher
levels.
●Given conflicting evidence of any long
term health hazards, we must recom-
mend that safety precautions are
taken whenever the materials are
handled by authorized repair personnel.
●Exposure to dust from fiber which
has been used at high temperatures
may cause respiratory disease. When
handling fiber always use an OSHA or
NIOSH approved and HEPA filtered
respirator, eye protection, gloves and
long sleeved clothing.
●Avoid breaking up waste material.
ispose of fiber waste in sealed
containers.
●After handling, rinse exposed skin
with water before washing gently
with soap (not detergent). Wash work
clothing separately.
●Because this product and many
similar products on the market today
contain crystalline silica and ceramic
fibers, it is necessary under the
statutes of California Proposition 65
that the following statement be
included:
“This product contains substances
known to the State of California to
cause cancer. Material Safety ata
Sheets for RCF materials supplied
upon request.”
0. ntroduction
■In case of a service, use only original
spare parts.

Changing the firing parameters
You can select the program type in the
first line:
❶Professional program: individual firing
management with 16 programmable
parameters for processing all dental
ceramic materials perfectly.
➋Standard program: a standard firing
management in accordance with the
guidelines for the dental ceramics
available on the market.
➌Special program: this firing program
is recommended for processing
ceramic materials, which require two
holding times under vacuum and/or
two different heat rates.
(specially for crystallization programs).
➍I-Press program: Intelligent mode for
processing all pressable ceramics for
producing all ceramic restorations and
press-to-metal®technique.
The press time is automatically deter-
mined via the intelligent I-Press
sensor system.
❺Press program: The traditional timed
Press mode for processing pressable
ceramics.
➏Sinter program: Used for sintering
alumina framework ceramics (such as
Vita®InCeram*). This program will be
made available by the manufacturer
only on special request.
We recommend the I-Press program for all pressing
tasks. The I-Press function optimizes pressing results.

❶The Professional Program
Start temperature Temperature in the firing chamber at which the program starts.
Pre-dry Selecting “YES” activates the special pre-drying program.
Pre-dry time Enter a time. In this section, the lift identifies a predefined position for the entire time, depending on the heat
radiated by the firing chamber. The object can thus be pre-dried at a constant temperature.
Closing time Time in which the lift moves in 10 increments into the firing chamber.
Soak temperature At this temperature the object remains in the closed firing chamber in order to achieve an even temperature
distribution. Soak temperature = Vacuum start
Soak time States the retention period of the object in the firing chamber before evacuation and the temperature increase.
Heat rate Temperature increase per minute in order to reach the final temperature.
Final temperature Temperature at which the ceramic is sintered.
Hold time Period for which the ceramic is maintained at the final temperature.
Temper Selecting “YES” activates the special tempering program.
Temper temperature Temperature at which the ceramic is tempered, i.e. subjected to precise thermal treatment at a
constant temperature.
Temper time States the duration of the thermal treatment in the firing chamber when closed.
