Dentronix Ultrasonic Cleaner 

NOTE:

The side of the unit has ventilation louvers. Position

electronics control housing in such a way that liquids cannot
flow into the unit.

2. Four (4) #8 Phillips head wood screws have been included if

you wish to mount the electronics enclosure to one of the inte-
rior cabinet walls. Four adhesive-backed rubber feet have
been applied to the underside of the electronic control unit.

3. Connect the two cables between the electronics control box and

the tank enclosure. The cables are configured such that they
cannot be inserted into the wrong receptacle. If you have diffi-
culty plugging in a cable, check that it matches the receptacle.

4. Plug the power cord into the electronics control box, then into

a power outlet. 

WARNING:

Power should not be supplied to the unit until all

interconnections between the electronics enclosure, tank
enclosure and any accessories are securely connected. 

WARNING:

This unit must be properly grounded. Failure to

properly ground unit may result in serious injury.

5. The hose supplied with the DDUS60R allows waste disposal

in accordance with your local, state and/or federal regulations.

III. Operating Instructions

A. General Cleaning

1. Fill the tank with water to the fill line indicator 

(Fig. 2)

.

2. Pour the required amount of Dentronix DMP-US+ Ultrasonic

Cleaning Solution or other Dentronix ultrasonic cleaning solu-
tion into the tank.

NOTE:

Never operate the unit without solution. Operating a dry

tank may result in permanent damage to the unit and void the
warranty. Do not place objects directly on bottom of tank. Use
accessory baskets, cassette racks or beaker positioning cover.

3. Plug the line cord into a grounded AC outlet (or per local

regulations).

4. To activate the unit, turn the timer knob to the desired cleaning

time. The pilot light will glow when the unit is in operation. The
unit will automatically shut off at the end of the cycle.

5. Change the solution in the tank daily, or sooner if it appears

soiled or discolored. When beakers are used, change the
solution in the beaker after each use.

6. Drain unit by opening the valve and allow solution to empty

into sink or waste system. Rinse tank and close valve.

B. Degassing

Degassing the ultrasonic solution is an important step. Degassing
is the removal of large air bubbles found in all fresh solution, which
act as a barrier to efficient cleaning. Degassing is necessary
every time new solution is added. Degas the solution by activating
the unit for 15 minutes before you add any items to be cleaned.

C. Cover

The Dentronix Ultrasonic Cleaner should always be covered when
operating to trap aerosols in the unit. The Dentronix DDUS60
and DDUS60R are equipped with a “hinged” cover for easy,
one-hand opening. The cover conveniently lifts off for cleaning
and may also be used as a carrying tray for accessories. 

D. Instrument Draining

The DDUS60 and DDUS60R are equipped with a bezel
surrounding the tank. The bezel drains condensation back into
the tank, keeping the work area around the unit dry. The bezel
also acts as a draining stand for the large basket or cassette

racks. Simply position the corner of the basket or rack on two of
the draining tabs at opposite corners of the tank 

(Fig. 3, 4)

and

allow the solution to drain off instruments.

IV. Cleaning Methods

A. In Tank

1. The DDUS60P for use with Dentronix Vertical Plier Stands.

Slide up to four (4) large or up to eight (8) small Dentronix
Vertical Plier Stands into the “rails” on the bottom of the rack

(Fig. 5)

. The Plier Stands will be held in place during handling,

even when held at an angle. The handle on top of the rack
facilitates lowering and raising the rack into and out of the
tank, and is also equipped with a “kick stand” for draining on
the bezel of the unit.

2. The DDUS60K and DDUS60W for use with Instrument Basket

Cleaning:
Place parts to be cleaned into the basket. Then place the
basket directly into the main tank containing ultrasonic solution.

NOTE:

Baskets are furnished with adjustable Section Inserts

(DDUS60I) to keep instrument set-ups separated by user or
procedure, eliminating sorting and speeding instrument
processing 

(Fig. 6)

. Baskets are not recommended for the

cleaning of cutting instruments, and baskets are not
designed for use in the DDS5000 dry heat sterilizer. For more
information, contact Dentronix.

3. The DDUS60S for use with Instrument Cassette Cleaning:

Place loaded rack into tank containing ultrasonic cleaning
solution 

(Fig. 7)

B. In Beaker (for specialized item cleaning):

Place item into a beaker (DDUS60B), add desired cleaning
solution (e.g. Dentronix DCR-2 Cement Remover) according to
the manufacturer’s directions. Place the beaker band around
the beaker so that the bottom 1/3 will be suspended in the main
bath. Suspend the beaker in the tank by using the beaker posi-
tioning cover (DDUS60C).

V. Accessory Use Directions
