temperature oven for commercial use in dental laboratories and may be used only for sintering sinterable
ceramics.
3.1 Requirements for personnel
Trained and qualified personnel who know how to use the unit and whose specialist training, skills, experi-
ence and knowledge of the relevant regulations enables them to carry out the tasks assigned to them inde-
pendently and recognise and avoid potential hazards.

Before carrying out any installation, maintenance, cleaning or repair work,
disconnect the power supply of the sintering oven (pull out mains plug) and
secure it against being switched back on.
DANGER
Risk of ignition!
Use of inflammable and explosive materials near the oven.
➤
Do not operate the sintering oven near highly inflammable sources.
➤
Do not install the sintering oven on highly inflammable supporting surfaces.
WARNING
Risk of burns from hot surfaces!
The surfaces of the sintering oven become hot during operation.
These may cause burns if touched.
➤
Do not touch the housing or the oven door during operation.
➤
Do not reach into the heating chamber. It may still retain a high level of resi-
dual heat from the previous heating process.

Ensure that the sintering oven has cooled down before carrying out mainte-
nance, cleaning and repair work.
