– Cleaning and disinfecting
Take note
■ Empty all containers of any remaining liquid before placing them into
the cleaning unit. Rinse away any hazardous liquids remaining in
them, such as disinfectant.
■ Individual instruments should be placed in baskets or trays
—never directly into the base rack.
■ Instruments are not to extend out over the sides of the instrument
baskets etc. Protruding instruments may otherwise damage the door
seal or the side walls of the washing chamber.
■ Instruments must not hang through the wire mesh of the baskets
and protrude through the base of the rack. Otherwise, they may
scratch the door surface, or parts of the instruments may break off.
■ Hollow objects must be placed over or in the injector nozzles.
■ Transfer instruments must be inserted over one of the 8 silicone
adapters.
■ The washing arm must be able to turn unobstructed and must not be
blocked by any instruments protruding downwards.
■ The results of a good cleaning are dependent on the correct
placement of the instruments. Avoid arranging them such that
certain areas do not get sprayed.
■ Instruments are not to cover each other.
■ All vessels such as glasses, dishes etc. are to be placed with the
opening facing down.
■ Objects with openings or recesses should be placed at a slant such that
the water can run off.
■ Use only undamaged instruments suitable for washing made of
instrument steel to prevent corrosion.
Use thermoresistant plastic components that are stable up to at least 95 °C.
