socket only, as it serves as interrupting device. The unit can be
operated at a mains voltage of 100 – 240 Vac.
Place the unit at a dry and sufficiently ventilated workplace.
Protect the unit from entering humidity! Do not hose or put
under water. Keep workplace, housing and operating elements
dry.
Do not open the housing. The unit must be opened by
authorized specialized personnel only.
For cleaning, maintenance and care of the unit, in case of
suspected humidity inside the unit or in case of malfunctions

3.3 Functioning
Today, cleaning by ultrasound is the most modern fine cleaning
method.
The electric high-frequency energy created by an ultrasonic
generator is transformed into mechanical energy by piezo-
electrical transducer systems and is then transmitted into the
bath.
This process creates millions of tiny vacuum bubbles, which
implode due to the variations of pressure caused by the
ultrasonic activity. Highly energetic liquid jets are created. These
jets remove dirt particles from surfaces and even from the
smallest grooves and bores.
In order to achieve efficient cleaning results the liquid in the
cleaning bath must contain a suitable cleaning chemical.

4.1 Filling of the unit
Fill the cleaning tank with a sufficient quantity of a suitable
cleaning liquid before operation.
Observe filling level
Dry running of the transducer tank can cause damage to the
unit.
Ensure that the cleaning tank is filled to the optimum level
during operation (2/3 filling level).
NOTE
Ensure that the chosen cleaning chemical is suitable for
treatment in an ultrasonic bath and observe the instructions on
dosage and compatibility of the material.
We recommend the use of the cleaning agents listed in section
5.1.
Caution! Flammable products are not allowed for use in an
ultrasonic bath. Observe the instructions given in section 5
(cleaning media).
Restrictions concerning further cleaning media are also
indicated in the instructions given in section 5.
For queries please contact the manufacturer or your supplier.
Freshly mixed cleaning liquids are saturated with air which
lessens the cleaning effect of the ultrasonic activity. By
sounding the liquid over a period of several minutes before the
cleaning process the tiny air bubbles in the liquid are
eliminated.

4.2 Cleaning
The items to be cleaned must be covered completely in the
cleaning liquid.
Place the items in the bath with the contaminated side down.
Cleaning instructions
4.3 Placement of cleaning items
Caution! Do not place the cleaning items directly on the bottom
of the transducer tank as this might lead to damages on the
unit.
Use suitable accessories:
Use the plastic cleaning basket for big items.
Suitable for dentures, braces and small items. For cleaning, fill
the beaker with a suitable cleaning chemical.
Insert the loaded dental beaker in the transducer tank which
must be filled with liquid up to approx. 50%. Add a few drops of
a cleaning chemical to the water in the transducer tank.
With the forceps the cleaned items can be taken out of the unit
or items can be held into the liquid for cleaning.

4.4 Start-up of the cleaning process
Do not reach inside the tank during ultrasonic operation!
Cell walls can be damaged by prolonged exposure to ultrasonic
activity.
For taking out the cleaning items switch off the unit or use the
forceps (included in delivery).
NOTE
Press the on/off key in the operating panel of the unit (see also
section 3.7). The unit starts a cleaning cycle which switches off
automatically after 7 minutes.
This process can be repeated as often as required.
After the cleaning process thoroughly rinse the cleaned items in
running water and wipe dry with a cloth.
Press on/off key.
