Note:
Drying results may vary depending on how well you shake off the bottles, the shape of the
bottles and general humidity conditions.
UviCube purposely uses a low-heat infrared bulb, which may have varying results on some types of
bottles and items. Higher heat results in better drying results, but may cause burns and may shorten
the lifespan of your items.
Bottles should be shaken
thoroughly
to remove excess water and to make sure
large water
droplets do
not form
in large concentrations
. Please make sure that bot
h
protective covers from the IR bulb and
UV lamp are REMOVED (refer to page 11). In some instances, customers have unintentionally left
the IR bulb cover, which limits the ability of the bulb to heat and dry the bottles.
Note:
A U.S. Laboratory performed a study on UviCube's effect on items such as remote controls,
mobile phones and certain
toys under normal operating conditions. The study found that while UV
light exposure from UviCube may possibly shorten the lifespan of the plastics by a small amount, this
will not come with significant increase to biologically active chemicals from the breakdown of plastics.
In short, for the materials tested, and similar types of plastics used in storing and handling foodstuffs,
the findings indicate that the product will be chemically as safe coming out of UviCube as going in.
While the items used in the s
tu
dy did not show any visible damage and electronics appear to function
normally, you are advised that such use of UviCube is at your own discretion and risk, as the
composition of the original materials and their durability are outside of UviCube's control.
