Operation Steps
Used when cleaning with loose instruments or cassettes. For burs, fi les, or corrosive solutions
see the accessories section below.
1. Remove basket and ensure drainage valve handle is in the closed position.
2. Follow the ultrasonic cleaner solution dosage instructions per cleaning solution label. Fill the
unit with ultrasonic cleaner solution (general purpose, enzymatic, etc.) between the MIN and
MAX lines.
3. Place instruments to be cleaned directly into the basket or into cassettes and place the cas-
settes into the basket. Then place the basket directly into the main tank already containing
ultrasonic cleaner solution.
4. Place the lid on the unit to reduce aerosols and noise.
5. Using the right knob, set the unit to the proper cleaning time (see below) and press the knob
in to run the unit.
6. After cleaning, rinse the basket and instruments thoroughly under running water.
Determining Proper Cleaning Time
This unit cleans much faster and more thoroughly than most other ultrasonic cleaners on the
market. You should expect it to clean in 1/2 to 1/3 of the time it takes for other common ultra-
sonic cleaners. Typical cleaning time is:
• 5 minutes for one layer of loose instruments or cassette
• 10 minutes for two layers of loose instruments or cassettes
Before starting with routine cleaning, test runs should be conducted to establish proper
cleaning time. With a standard batch of instruments, run cleaning at 5 minutes then check the
condition of the instruments. Add more time until satisfactory result is achieved. Repeat the test
a couple of more times to establish a reliable, proper and standard time.
Do not run it with excessive time as it is unnecessary, and it counts towards the unit's service life.
Degassing
Degassing the solution is a necessary step to eliminate large air bubbles that interfere with the
cleaning process. This unit runs degassing automatically during the fi rst run when the unit is fi rst
turned on. Degassing can be initiated manually with the left knob. Automatic and manual degas
time can be set by rotating the left knob.
Cleaning With Accessories
Beakers
1. Place small items such as burs and fi les in the beakers. Add ultrasonic cleaner solution into
the beakers to submerge the items inside. Place the clear lids over the beakers if needed.
2. Place the beakers inside the basket and place them inside the tank. If the liquid level in the
tank is close to MAX already, discharge some liquid. The bottom of the beakers should be in
contact with water or solution in the tank.
Cleaning Chamber
The removable cleaning chamber is used when corrosive or dangerous solution is used or to
reduce the amount of cleaning solution needed for small loads.
