Hot objects

Burn hazards when touching hot objects!
Objects reach high temperatures during operation and can cause burns
on contact.
Therefore:
Before handling objects, check whether they are hot. If necessary,
allow to cool.
Handle hot objects exclusively with feeding tongs.
Mineral fibres
The
heat insulation
of the firing chamber and the firing base contain
ceramic fibres
that have been rated as carcinogenic.
Measurements performed on a ceramic furnace while in use have shown that the actual
level of these fibres is significantly lower than the acceptable risk threshold if the
furnace is used as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Any damage to the furnace mu
st be repaired by a recognized expert (e.g. DeguDent’s
Technical Service).
Visible
deposits of fibres are freely accessible parts of the furnace
must be
removed by
approved cleaning methods
(e.g. by
wiping them off with a moist cloth
or by
vacuuming using approved filters
).
Fibres must never be blown away with compressed air nor brushed away with
brooms were brushes while still dry.
Should you detect unusual quantities of visible fibre deposits on freely accessible parts
of the furnace, please contact a recognized expert as mentioned above.
Use of
defective accessories
containing ceramic fibres must be
discontinued
immediately
.
