completely covered (as needed, using ultrasonic support or careful brushing with a soft brush).
A neutral enzymatic cleaning agent is recommended.
Remove the light guide from the solution and rinse thoroughly (at least 10 seconds) in water with
low germ count.
To disinfect; place the cleaned light guide for the specified application time into the solution, mak-
ing sure that it is completely covered.

Effective cleaning and disinfection are absolutely essential requirements for effective sterilization.
Only steam sterilization is approved.
Maximum sterilization temperature is 134 °C (273 °F)

at least 3 min. at 132 °C (270 °F) /134 °C (273 °F)
Check
Before using the light guide again, check it for damaged surfaces and discoloration;
do
not
use damaged light guides.
How to Clean Charger, Main board, and Glare Shield
To disinfect all components, spray the disinfectant on a towel and use it to disinfect the unit. Do
not spray the disinfectant directly on the Curing Light Controller or the Charger.
Disinfection agents must not enter the unit.
Clean the protecting glass of the Curing Light Controller with a soft and lint-free cloth.
Dry residual disinfectants on the charger, the Curing Light controller and the glare Shield with a
soft and lint-free cloth.
Solvents or abrasive cleaners
should
not
be used at any time for cleaning any of the Curing Light
System components!
Cleaning agents must not enter the Curing Light Controller.
Make sure that the charge contact pins remain dry and are not contacted by metallic or greasy
parts.
Care must be taken to avoid bending the charge contact pins during drying. Wet charge contact
pins will cause an operating error (malfunction message: the LED showing the operating status in
the charger glows red steadily).
Storage of the Slimax during Extended Periods of Non-Use
If the Slimax is not being used for an extended period of time - e. g., during vacation - fully charge
the battery prior to departure or keep the Curing Light Controller inserted in the operational
charger. A safety switch within the battery prevents a total discharge.
Discharged or nearly discharged batteries must be recharged as soon as possible.
