Maintenance and cleaning
To achieve an optimum lifespan for the ultrasonic bath, cleaning and maintenance
should be conducted regularly.
CAUTION!
Disconnect the bath from the mains before each cleaning / maintenance.
Do not rinse or immerse the ultrasonic bath in water and do not expose it to splash water.
A warranty will not apply to damage caused by the use of unsuitable disinfection agents
or detergents.
5.1
Cleaning and care
Oscillating tank
The oscillating tank of an ultrasonic bath is a wearing part.
It is continuously exposed to cavitation during ultrasound operation. Dirt particles
remaining in the tank abrade and damage the tank surface due to the movement of the
liquid, therefore:
• Rinse the oscillating tank with water thoroughly and frequently and dry using a soft
cloth.
• Regularly remove residue and scum from the oscillating tank using a commercial
stainless steel cleaning product without any abrasive additives.
• Do not use steel wool, scrapers or graters for cleaning / maintenance.
• Metal particles that remain on the stainless steel surface as well as rust particles
from the water pipe system penetrate the passive protective layer of the stainless
steel. The stainless steel is "activated" in this process and begins to rust. This
extraneous rust produces localised corrosion of the stainless steel. For this reason,
remove metal parts such as screws,
fi
lings, etc. from the oscillating tank, and
immediately remove rust stains using a soft cloth and a commercial stainless steel
cleaning product without abrasive additives.
Housing
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, only use commercially-available care products without
scouring agents.
• The housing is to be wiped o
ff
only from the outside with a moist cloth; afterwards,
allow to dry alone or wipe dry.
5.2
Warehousing / Storage
During long periods of non-use, the ultrasonic bath should be stored in a cool, dry
location. The lid should be placed on top in order to protect the bath from outside
contamination.
