9 Maintenance and cleaning
Clean the Reference SL articulator system and face bow gently and without using solvents. For a
long-lasting function of the articulator it is not necessary to use lubricants.
The instruments should not get in contact with strong acids, avoid cleaning it in an ultrasonic bath.
Do not use corrosive liquids, scrubbing brushes, wire brushes or similar materials!
Only use cleaning agents suitable for disinfecting and cleaning light alloys. (The reaction times
are listed in
the manufacturer’s instruction.)
Sterilization must be carried out in an autoclave: 5 mins. at 134ºC, 20 mins. at 120ºC
Preparing for use:
Bite fork:
Disinfect in a disinfecting tank or use disinfectant spray. Clean the registration material off the
bite fork. If a thermoplastic material has been used, it is advisable to place the bite fork in a re-
frigerator. The registration material is then easier to remove from the bite fork. Sterilize in an au-
toclave.
Glabella support:
Spray the nasion with disinfectant. Wash off any residues under running water. May be auto-
claved but is not absolutely essential.
Porus supports:
Unscrew the porus supports and immerse them in disinfectant. The porus supports are best
cleaned with a steam cleaner. To steam the hole, hold the nozzle of the steam cleaner in the
acoustics hole and spray it clean. May be autoclaved but is not absolutely essential.
