Cleaning and maintenance of the ultrasonic bath
To achieve an optimum lifespan for the ultrasonic bath, cleaning and maintenance are
to be conducted regularly.
CAUTION!
Disconnect the ultrasonic bath from the mains before cleaning / maintenance.
Do not rinse or immerse the ultrasonic bath in water and do not expose it to splash
water.
No guarantee will apply to damage caused by the use of unsuitable surface
disinfection agents or detergents.
5.1
Cleaning and care
Oscillating tank
The oscillating tank of an ultrasonic bath is a wear part.
It is continuously exposed to cavitation during ultrasound operation. Dirt particles
remaining in the tank abrade and damage the tank surface due to the movement of the
fl
uid, therefore
• Thoroughly and frequently rinse the oscillating tank with water and rub dry using a
soft cloth.
• Regularly remove residue from the edges of the oscillating tank using a commercial
stainless steel cleaning product without any abrasive additives.
• Do not use steel wool, scrapers or graters for cleaning / maintenance.
• Metal particles that remain on the stainless steel surface as well as rust particles
from the water pipe system penetrate the passive protective layer of the stainless
steel. The stainless steel is "activated" in this process and it begins to rust. The
extraneous rust produces localised corrosion of the stainless steel. For this reason,
remove metal parts such as screws,
fi
lings, etc. from the oscillating tank, and
immediately remove rust stains using a soft cloth and a commercial stainless steel
cleaning product without abrasive additives.
Housing
• Do not use any abrasive cleaners, only commercial care products without abrasive
additives.
• Housing is to be wiped off only from the outside with a moist cloth; afterwards, allow
to dry alone or wipe dry.
5.2
Warehousing / storage
During long periods of non-use, the ultrasonic bath should be stored in a cool, dry
location. The lid should be placed on top in order to protect the oscillating tank from
outside contamination.
