9. Cleaning Process
Observe general laboratory safety warnings!
Ultrasonic activity can damage sensitive surfaces over prolonged periods.
1.
If necessary for the cleaning task at hand, pre-heat the liquid (in units with heating).
2.
When the cleaning liquid has been freshly mixed switch on the Degas / Auto-Degas function for degassing the liquid (approx. 10 min).
3.
Immerse the cleaning items into the cleaning liquid. Do not place any items or containers directly onto the tank floor.
Use either a cleaning basket, a beaker (filled with water + cleaning chemical) or hang the items into the liquid.
4.
Set the cleaning time – switch on the ultrasound.
5.
If required switch on the sweep function (for the intensive cleaning of large items and for robust surfaces).
6.
Monitor the cleaning process: Check the cleaning result by visual inspection. Repeat the cleaning process if necessary.
7.
Rinse the cleaned items after the cleaning and dry if necessary.
