Step 4: Insert objects to be treated
Before every sonication it is necessary to check whether the sonication fl uid needs to
be cleaned or replaced.
 Place the objects to be cleaned in the appropriate accessories, in doing so please
note:
• Evenly distribute parts, do not stack them.
• Overloading the basket will reduce the ultrasound e
ff ect (the ultrasound is
absorbed).
• Place the more heavily soiled side facing downward.
• Parts with joints are to be fully opened before placing inside.
• Fragile parts may not touch each other.
• Due to the design, the ultrasound e
ff ect is weaker on the outlet side. Heavily
contaminated objects should not be placed in the basket over the outlet.
 Hang the insert basket with the items to be sonicated.
 Check that the objects to be treated are fully covered with fl uid.
 With every object inserted, the fi ll level is to be controlled.
Step 5: Ultrasound - Operation
Fundamentally, the sonication time is to be as short as possible in order to protect the
objects to be treated and the oscillating tank.
In the case of stubborn residue, conduct sonication for a longer time if necessary.
 Place lid on top.
 Using the turning knob, set the desired sonication time, see chapter 3.1.1.
Step 6: Remove treated objects
After sonication, the objects are to be removed from the ultrasonic bath. Allowing them
to remain any longer in the bath
fl uid may damage them.
 Switch o ff the ultrasound.
 Remove the basket from the tank and place it securely on a horizontal surface.
Depending upon the set temperature or the duration of sonication, the baskets and
objects may be hot!
 After the cleaning processes, rinse the treated objects with water of at least drinking
quality. Visually review the sonication results.
 Before the next sonication, verify the service life (see chapter 4.3.2) of the bath
fl uid. Heed the speci fi cations of the preparation manufacturer. If necessary, empty
the oscillating tank.
