5 Operation | 5.1 Start sintering process
5 Operation
CAUTION
Safety regulations
▶ When operating the KaVo Everest® therm the regulations on accident preven‐
tion and safety data sheets are to be followed!
The operation of the KaVo Everest therm involves the following steps:
▪ (Only if needed: Create a new sintering program)
▪ Select the sintering program
▪ Start the sintering process
▪ End the sintering process
Note
The first time you use the machine, remove the protective film from the controls.
5.1 Start sintering process
Note
The workpieces must be in the dish insert included in the delivery
(Mat. no. 1.001.9721)!
Note
The sintering process can only be started when the system is in normal status, i.e.,
the LED “Ready for operation“ ② must shine.
▶ Place the work pieces in the insert tray.
▶ Hold down the START
button.
The programme set in Parameter P95 Prg. Name is started and the display updated
in accordance with the Parameter P6.
At the same time, in the first line the programme name is displayed on the left and
'RUN' on the right.
Note
Press the stop key to interrupt the sintering process at any time. The display
returns to normal status. Changing parameters

5 Operation | 5.1 Start sintering process
5.1.1 Changing parameters
If a programme other than the programme set in Parameter P 95 is to be run, the
parameters required for it can be changed.
Note
The parameters can only be changed within the permissible range.
▶ Select the parameter using the
and
keys.
▶ Change the parameter by pressing the Enter key .
▶ Confirm the entry of the new value by pressing the Enter key
The value is received by the control and saved.
.
If you want to keep the old value, you can cancel the entry by pressing the "Cancel
entry" key.
An arrow in front of the parameter indicates if a parameter can be changed.
Note
An eye symbol (oo) before the parameter shows that the parameter cannot be
changed.
If a parameter is not used depending on operating mode or other parameters, it is
greyed out.
Note
During the sintering process, the door is kept magnetically and mechanically clo‐
sed.

5 Operation | 5.2 End sintering process
5.2 End sintering process
The sintering process is completed when the message OK (no errors) appears on
the controller along with the production number and the result of firing.
In the top right-hand corner, the display shows WAIT, indicating that the oven is in
standby state.
Note
If the message "Error during firing" appears on the controls, you can assume that
the workpieces have not been properly fired.
▶ The end of the sintering process must be confirmed by pressing the stop key
.
If cooling air has been set, it is stopped.
Holding down the STOP key for a number of seconds unlocks the door which can
now be opened by operating the locking handle.
CAUTION
Even after completion of the sintering process, work pieces may still be very hot!
▶ To avoid burns, the appropriate auxiliary materials (e.g. gloves or tongs) must
be used.
The fired work pieces can now be removed.

6 Maintenance | 6.1 Before each use
6 Maintenance
CAUTION
Damage from compressed air
Compressed air can damage parts inside the Everest Therm.
▶ Never clean with compressed air.
▶ Clean the outer casing with a damp cloth only. Do not use any materials with a
solvent content.
6.1 Before each use
CAUTION
Hazard from cracks and pieces that have chipped off
If cracks and chipped off pieces can be seen, especially at the door stone, proper
use is no longer guaranteed.
▶ In case of cracks and chipped off pieces, call the Everest hotline.
▶ Before each use, the firing chamber and the insulation must be checked for
cracks.
Narrow cracks have no adverse influence on the function of the Everest® therm and
do not represent a threat.
Note
In case of cracks that can cause parts of the insulation to come off (especially at
the door stone), call the Everest hotline.
