Warranty

United States and Canada

Whip Mix Corporation warrants the Pro 200 and Pro Press 
200 to the original purchaser against defective workmanship 
and materials under normal procedures of installation, use 
and service within the dental profession, for a period of 
three years or 3750 muffle hours, whichever occurs first. 
During which time Whip Mix Corporation will replace, repair 
or deny warranty coverage at its discretion.  Heat treating 
refractory materials, misuse, improper installation, improper 
maintenance, accident or abuse will void the warranty. Whip 
Mix coverage only applies to Whip Mix supplied parts, and 
repairs performed by Whip Mix certified repair technicians. 
Repairs performed during the warranty period do not extend 
the warranty period. Shipping damage is only covered from 
Whip Mix to the intended recipient.

Two years parts and labor from date of purchase from dealer.

Recommendations

Note:

 During shipping the muffle might absorb moisture 

from the air. So, it is recommended you heat the muffle 
to dry the moisture before firing any porcelain. To dry the 
muffle, set the idle temperature to 400° C (752° F) for one 
hour and 600° C (1112° F) for one hour.

Follow the numbered instructions in this section to set the 
idle temperature to the temperatures mentioned above. 
Whip Mix recommends leaving the furnace on at all times.

Turning the furnace off overnight may cause damage to 
the muffle, contamination and void the warranty. 

Leaving your furnace on will also extend the life of your 
furnace. See Night Mode, page 11 for further information.
