To alter parameters, press the specific parameter key (e.g., for Temperature), adjust the value using the arrow keys, and press Enter or Store to save. Place your ceramic object on the firing tray.
The heating ramp rate measured in degrees Celsius per minute (°C/min).

Run a decontamination/purge cycle weekly to remove built-in silver or carbon deposits from the muffle.
The Programat P100 is a dedicated ceramic furnace featuring a user-friendly design with a numeric keypad for efficient program selection and data entry. Its core function is to ensure precise temperature control and vacuum management during the sintering and glazing of dental ceramics.
Set how long the temperature is maintained.
Yes, but only for single crowns or small bridges. The P100 has a maximum temperature of 1200°C (for ceramics) and 1600°C? Wait – correction: actual Programat P100 max is around 1200°C for conventional ceramics. For zirconia sintering (1500°C+), you need a dedicated sintering furnace. The manual explicitly states: “Do not use for sintering oxide ceramics exceeding 1200°C.” So check your specific page 12.
