installing and operating your ultrasonic cleaner
The ultrasonic cleaner should be mounted on a level surface. It must not be
exposed to extreme temperatures, moisture, strong vibrations, and dusty or
corrosive environments.
To operate the unit first place the appropriate fluid in the tank. The fluid level
should always at the level of the filling ridge in the tank.
Plug the 3 pin plug of the IEC cable into a suitable socket and the other end
into the unit and switch the socket on.
WHEN SWITCHING THE MAINS POWER ON AND OFF
ENSURE THAT YOUR HANDS ARE DRY
The timer may then be set by turning the timer knob clockwise until the
pointer indicates the desired time for ultrasonic agitation. The timer range is
0 to 30 minutes, and any time in between may be set. The unit may also be
operated continuously by turning the knob anti-clockwise to the ‘OO ’
symbol. Should you wish to cease the ultrasonic agitation, the timer knob
may be turned until the pointer indicates ‘O’. When the unit is in operation
the green neon will be illuminated.
The time required for a cleaning cycle depends on the following:
•
The type, size and number of components being cleaned
•
The type of contamination being removed
•
The type of cleaning solution being used
For most medical/dental applications we suggest that a 3-minute cycle is
initiated and more time added if required up to a maximum of 6 minutes.
As the ultrasonic energy is generated in the bottom of the tank, only one
layer of components/instruments should be cleaned at a time. Pre-soaking
of components may assist the ultrasonic cleaning process.
