Health And Safety Instructions - Ivoclar Vivadent Programat CS Mode D'emploi

2.2 Health and Safety Instructions

This furnace has been designed according to EN
61010-1 and has been shipped from the
manufacturer in excellent condition as far as safety
regulations are concerned. To maintain this condi-
tion and to assure risk-free operation, the user
must observe the notes and warnings contained in
these Operating Instructions.
– The user must especially become familiar with
the warnings and the operating conditions to
prevent injury to personnel or damage to
materials. The manufacturer is not responsible
for damage resulting from misuse or failure to
observe the Operating Instructions. Warranty
claims cannot be accepted in such cases.
– Before switching on the furnace, make sure that
the voltage indicated on the rating plate
complies with your local power supply.
– The power socket must be equipped with a
residual current circuit breaker.
– The furnace must be plugged into a socket with
protected contacts.
– Place furnace on a fire-proof table (observe local
regulations, e.g. distance to combustible
substances or objects, etc.)
– Always keep the air vents at the rear and the
side of the furnace free from obstruction.
– Do not touch any parts that become hot during
the operation of the furnace. There is a burn
hazard!
– Clean furnace only with a dry or slightly moist
cloth. Do not use any solvents! Disconnect
power before cleaning.
– The furnace must be cool before it is packed for
transportation purposes.
– Use original packaging for transportation
purposes.
– Before calibration, maintenance, repair, or
exchange of parts, the power must be dis-
connected if the furnace is to be opened.
– If calibration, maintenance, or repair has to be
carried out with the power connected and the
furnace open, only qualified personnel, who are
familiar with the risks and dangers, may per-
form these procedures.
– After maintenance, the required safety tests
(high voltage resistance, protective conductor,
etc.) have to be carried out.
– Ensure that only fuses of the indicated type and
rated current are used.
– If it is assumed that safe operation is no longer
possible, the power must be disconnected to
avoid accidental operation.
Safe operation is no longer possible if
– the furnace is visibly damaged
– the furnace does not work
– the furnace has been stored under
unfavourable conditions over an extended
period of time
– Use only original spare parts.
– The temperature range for faultless operation is
+5 °C to +40 °C (+41 °F to +104 °F).
– If the furnace has been stored at very low
temperatures or high atmospheric humidity the
head has to be opened and the unit dried or
left to adjust to room temperature for approx.
1 hour (do not connect the power yet).
– The furnace has been tested for use at altitudes
of up to 2000 m (6562 ft) above sea level.
– The furnace may only be used indoors.
Any disruption of the protective
conductor either inside or outside the
furnace or any loosening of the protec-
tive conductor connection may lead to
danger for the user in case of malfunction.
Deliberate interruptions are not tolerated.
Materials developing harmful gases
must not be fired.
Warnings regarding the dismounting of the
heating muffle
This product contains ceramic fibres and
may release fibre dust.
Fibre dust has proved to be carcinogenic
in animal experiments. The correspon-
ding EU Safety Data Sheet must be observed.
The heat insulation of the firing chamber in the
Programat CS consists of ceramic fibres. After
prolonged use of ceramic fibres at temperatures of
over 900 °C (1652 °F), silicogenic substances
(Cristobalite) may be produced. In certain cases,
e.g. upon changing of the heating muffle, the
possible resulting dust exposure may cause
irritation of the skin, eyes, and respiratory organs.
Therefore, proceed as follows when changing the
heating muffle:
– Make sure the corresponding staff wears long-
sleeved clothing, as well as headgear, goggles,
and gloves.
– Place suction equipment at the source of the
dust or, if not possible, provide the staff with
FFP3 facemasks or similar items.
– Once the procedure has been completed, any
dust possibly adhering to exposed skin must first
be rinsed off with cold water. Only after that
should soap and warm water be used.
– The corresponding work clothes should be
washed separately.
Warning
The insulation on this product contains refractory
ceramic fibres (RCF) which pose a possible cancer
hazard, if agitated and inhaled. May be irritating to
the skin, eyes or respiratory tract if insulation is
cracked or corrupted.
California Proposition 65
Warning: "This product contains Refractory
Ceramic Fibres, a substance known to the State of
California to cause cancer."
Disposal:
The furnaces must not be
disposed in the normal domestic
waste. Please correctly dispose of
old furnaces according to the
corresponding EU council directive.
