Step-by-step instructions
1. Plug the oven into a power outlet (110VAC or 220VAC). Then turn the oven on with the power on / off switch located on the back. The green stand-by indicator will light up.
2. Put both obturator holders in the upper position by pressing the back of the holder (arrow up), and guiding the holder up with your finger.
3. After disinfecting the obturator and setting the silicone stop, place the Thermafil® endodontic obturator in the left obturator holder. Regardless of what working length you have determined, the silicone stop must be under the holder. Make sure the obturator is hanging straight, not at an angle. The obturator must clear all sides of the heating chamber.
4. Push the holder down (arrow down) until your hear it click
5. Push the button which corresponds to the size of the Thermafil® endodontic obturator you wish to heat. Then push the “start left” button. The obturator is now being heated. The heating time varies – depending on obturator size – from 20 to 45 seconds, and is regulated automatically. The heating times for each button are as follows:
 
Size Signal Time Tolerance
20 – 25 20 seconds ± 5 seconds
30 – 60 41 seconds ± 7 seconds
70 – 140 45 seconds ± 8 seconds

6. After the first signal ”beep”, the obturator is ready for use. Push the obturator holder (arrow up) and guide the holder with your finger. Take the obturator carefully out of the holder by pulling it towards, making sure not to scrape the obturator on any part of the holder.
7. You may leave the obturator in the ThermaPrep Plus Oven for up to 90 seconds after the first signal “beep”. It will keep the obturator at the appropriate temperature and ready for use. The oven will “beep” every 15 seconds to remind you that the obturator is still in the oven. After 90 seconds, the heating element will switch off automatically.
8. As an extra safety precaution, after you’ve taken the obturator out of the holder, switch off the heating element by pushing the start level button again. Keep in mind that you won’t be able to switch the heating element off during the heating cycle.
9. If you want to heat more obturators, you may alternate using the left and the right holders to continue your work efficiently. Wait until after the signal “beeps” for the first holder, then you may immediately start to heat the other one. You will be unable to heat both sides at the same time.
10. When you’re finished using the oven, use the power on/off switch located at the back of the oven to turn it off. Then unplug the oven until you’re ready to use it again.
