Placement of the cleaning items
Caution!
Ultrasonic units are intended for the treatment of
liquids and items immersed therein. Do not treat living beings or
plants in an ultrasonic unit.
Do not reach inside the tank during ultrasonic operation!
Cell walls may be damaged by prolonged exposure to
ultrasonic activity; this applies particularly to the cells of the
skeleton and joints.
Do not place the cleaning items directly onto the bottom of the
cleaning tank, as this might lead to damages to the unit.
Place the cleaning items in the stainless-steel cleaning basket
(accessory).
7.5
After the cleaning
Generally, the cleaned items must be rinsed and dried when the
cleaning process is finished.
The choice of the rinsing medium or media depends on the type
of cleaning medium that used and on the cleanness
requirements for the cleaned items. In certain cases it may be
recommended to rinse the items in an ultrasonic bath.
When the cleaning liquid is contaminated to such a degree that
it will no longer produce satisfying cleaning results, or when the
unit is not operated over a prolonged period of time (certain
residues and contaminations may damage the stainless-steel
tank) drain the tank.
Use the quick-drain duct to drain the cleaning tank.
The bottom of the ultrasonic tank is inclined towards the drain
duct to facilitate draining.
For instructions on the cleaning of the ultrasonic tank after
draining please see
Section 9.1, Maintenance and care
.
