0.2 General
The correct processing of modern dental
ceramic materials is placing even higher
demands on dental technicians. We
believe that the VARIO 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.

conditions of very high barometric pressure,
repeat the vacuum test when weather
conditions have returned to normal.
Setup program
Before you operate the ceramic furnace
for the first time, please run the “Run
pre-heat/dry program”. This enables you
to ensure that the firing chamber is free
of any residual humidity, which could
have a negative impact on the firing
results.

tests Run pre-heat/dry prog.
Select this option and confirm by pressing
the green "Enter" key. The device will
execute a program that takes approximately
15-20 minutes to run. This is intended to set
up the device after storage and transport.
The firing platform will remain slightly
open to allow any residual moisture to
escape.
Idle temperature
For safety reasons, the idle temperature
has been set as low as 80°C for delivery.
Main menu Set-up oven Change
idle temperature
If 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.
If 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 com-
pressed 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. Introduction
■In case of a service, use only original
spare parts.
■Unauthorized changes or modifica-
tions to hardware or software can

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.
➌Spec al 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.
➏S nter 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.
Open temperature Temperature at which the device opens the firing chamber.
Opening time ecent time of the lift from the chamber to the fully open position.
Vacuum Selecting “YES” activates the vacuum parameter (firing under vacuum).
