• Prior to draining the CENTI the unit should be powered off and the plug should be removed from the cord
receptacle as shown in
Figure 7. Power Cord Receptacle
.
• Make sure the drain tube is placed into a proper storage receptacle for the used detergent.
• Open the drain valve by turning it counter-clockwise 90 degrees until the valve is parallel to the valve body. The
unit will now drain.
• Properly dispose of all detergents according to local disposal guidelines.
First, drain the tank following the steps outlined in
Section 2.2.2 - Draining the Tank
.
Anytime the CENTI tank is emptied, operators should do a close visual inspection of the tank to remove any
contaminants or debris. To avoid scratching or damaging the tank use water and a non-abrasive cloth to wipe
down the interior of the unit.
• It is recommended to check any baskets or trays that are being used during the support removal process to
ensure they are free from contaminants also. Any baskets or other equipment can be cleaned using water and a
soft cloth.
It is important for the CENTI to always have the
proper amount of detergent in the tank to ensure safe
and efficient operation. There is a fluid level indicator
on the inside of the tank. See
Figure 8. Fluid Level
Indicator
• When removing parts from the CENTI use care to
limit the amount of detergent lost during the removal.
• When heavy or bulky parts are removed from the
tank excessive detergent may be lost. Always monitor
detergent levels and refill the tank as needed. Keep
in mind that when large amounts of detergent are
added to the tank, a Degas cycle may be necessary.

CAUTION
Never immerse the CENTI in water as the electronics will be damaged. ALWAYS turn the unit off prior to cleaning,
filling or draining and be sure to remove the plug from the receptacle and from the power source.
