Warnings and safety precautions
General
• Keep the ultrasonic/rinsing bath out of the reach of children and of persons who have
not been instructed in its operation by reference to these instructions.
• We do not guarantee against damage to the ultrasonic/rinsing bath or oscillating
tank, or to the objects to be treated, as a result of use of inadequate disinfection
agents or detergents.
• Keep the surface of the ultrasonic/rinsing bath and operating elements clean and dry.
• Do not expose the ultrasonic/rinsing bath to corroding in
fl
uences.
• Only move the ultrasonic/rinsing bath when it is empty.
• Empty the ultrasonic/rinsing bath only while turned off.
The tank is emptied with no peripheral devices connected, using the three-way ball
valve. To do so, turn the handle in the direction of the outlet.
• Ultrasonic baths adhere to prescribed EMC limit values, such that it can be assumed
that the electromagnetic radiation emanating from the units is harmless to humans.
A binding statement for wearers of implants can only be made at the place of work
and together with the implant manufacturer. In case of doubt, information regarding
the allowable electromagnetic exposure level is to be obtained from the implant
manufacturer.
• If the unit is passed on to others, the operating instructions with the safety
instructions must also be handed over.
Operation and transport
• Observe ambient and set-up conditions, see chapter 1.4.
• Only plug in the ultrasonic/rinsing bath to an outlet with a grounded socket.
• Do not operate the ultrasonic/rinsing bath without
fl
uids.
• Do not stand or lay any objects on the tank bottom, accessories must be used, see
chapter 7.
• Do not immerse any parts of the body (e.g. hands, feet) or living beings (animals or
plants) in the tank; in particular, do not immerse them in the ultrasonic
fl
uid during
ultrasound operation. Danger: Ultrasound has a cell-destroying effect.
• In the event of continuous activity within a 5 m radius, adequate hearing protection
must be used. Danger: Hearing loss possible if not wearing hearing protection
during operation – the typical ultrasound cavitation noise can be perceived as very
unpleasant.
• When preheating the bath liquid, stir at least every 30 min. or switch on the
ultrasound. Danger: Scalding due to retardation of boiling.
• Do not leave the ultrasonic/rinsing bath unattended while in operation.
Damages and defects
• If damage to the ultrasonic/rinsing bath is detected, do not connect the ultrasonic/
rinsing bath to the mains.
• In the event of defects, disconnect the power plug immediately.
• Repairs must only be conducted by authorised skilled personnel or by the
manufacturer.
• Defective parts may only be replaced with original SONOREX parts.
