STERILIZATION & MAINTENANCE
CONSOLE
- The exterior of the console may be
cleaned by wiping with a soft cloth moistened with mild
detergent or disinfecting solution.
HANDPIECES
- Thorough cleaning and lubrication of
handpieces after each use and before sterilization is
very important to ensure proper operation and service
life of the handpiece. Follow the instructions provided

your unit may be sterilized by autoclave, chemclave, or
ethylene oxide gas processes. Follow the sterilizer

plug with sealing o-ring is supplied with the motor.
Remove the handpiece from the motor and install plug

The included motor/handpiece holding cradle is also
fully autoclavable.
Always install the autoclaving plug into motor

If the autoclaving plug for the motor becomes
difficult to remove or install, apply silicone
grease or similar lubricant to the o-rings.
