6.2 

Heating up of the cleaning liquid 

Heat up the cleaning liquid depending on the kind and degree 
of contamination of the cleaning items to assist the cleaning 
effect. To keep the heating period as short as possible we 
recommend using a cover.

 

You may also switch on the ultrasound to further speed up the 
heating process. 

The ultrasonic energy is transformed physically into heat.

 

Therefore, low pre-set temperatures may be exceeded during 
ultrasonic operation. 

In order to avoid unintended heating over the required 
temperature due to the additional ultrasonic energy, set the 
temperature at the lowest possible value for the cleaning task at 
hand. 

High temperatures! Risk of burning and scalding! 

Cleaning liquid, ultrasonic tank, housing, cover, basket and 
cleaning items may heat up considerably depending on the 
temperature inside the bath. 

Do not reach inside the bath! 
Wear protective gloves to handle the unit and basket! 

1.  Press the key 

on/off

 (

Fig. 4.10.A

), the green LED in the key 

is lighted. 

2.  Press the key 

heating

 (

Fig. 4.10.B

), the green LED in the 

key is lighted. 

3.  Set the required cleaning temperature by pressing the +/- 

keys (

Fig. 4.10.C)

, the LED indicating the set temperature is 

lighted. The heating process is started and the actual 
temperature is indicated by the flashing LED (

Fig. 4.10.D

). 

4.  As soon as the set temperature is reached the heating 

automatically switches off. 

The ultrasonic energy can heat up the cleaning liquid over the 
set temperature. Particularly low set temperatures (e.g. 30°C or 
40°C) can easily be exceeded.
