3 Applications
The WAPO - Ex is used for scalding up to 4 half-caps and up to 6 caps for
polymerisation. A divider in the trough creates two separate chambers. You can also
scald small items using a hand spray.
Only use the device for this type of application.
4 Before you start
4.1 Unpacking / Transport
- Open the cartons, remove the packing materials, and carefully lift out the instrument
and accessories. Check that the accessories are correct (see 8.4).
−
When transporting the unit, make sure that it has been disconnected from the power
supply. Use appropriate packing materials to avoid accidental damage.
4.2 Set-up and storage
−
Set the unit up on a level surface.
−
Use clamps to attach the drain hose supplied firmly to the unit and arrange a suitable
drainage system.
−
Always set the unit up with sufficient workspace around it (check its dimensions). Do
not set it up out of doors.
- If the unit is to be stored for an extended period, protect it from dust and moisture.
It is very important to have the unit connected rigidly to a drainage
system as very hot water (about 95°C) is involved. It will also facilitate
emptying the unit completely for cleaning, for example.
