7. Operation
Place the parts to be cleaned in the cleaning basin in the bio.x Parts Cleaning Unit.
Do not exceed the maximum load of 250 kg!
Switch on the water pump by pressing the multi-control button on the controls.
Depending on the 3-way ball valve switch setting, parts can be cleaned by:
- rinsing them using the flexible hose and nozzle
- using the brush with detergent running through
Note: When on the middle setting, both outlets are opened.
The dirty detergent runs back into the tank via the middle plug outlet where special micro-organisms remove
oil and grease contaminants.
The water pump automatically switches off after about 60 minutes. The water pump can also be switched on
and off by pressing the multi-control button on the control panel.
Note:
When interrupting work, switch off the water pump only and do not disconnect the unit from the mains, so the
detergent remains warm. The micro-organisms in the detergent require heat and oxygen to degrade the oil
and grease. For this reason, the heating system maintains the temperature of the detergent at 41º C and an
aerator ensures oxygen is permanently fed to the micro-organisms. If the unit is switched off, or it breaks down
for a long period of time, the micro-organisms become inactive.
Energy-saving mode
The unit can be switched to energy-saving mode during downtimes such as night-time, weekends, or com-
pany holidays. To do so, the multi-function button is pressed for 3 seconds. "30" will be shown on the dis-
play. The temperature is maintained at 30º C in energy-saving mode. The micro-organisms remain active at
this temperature and optimum oil and grease degradation is guaranteed.
You can switch from energy-saving mode by just pressing the button again and the unit will heat the deter-
gent to 41º C again. The warm-up stage takes about an hour, depending on the ambient temperature. Once
this temperature is reached and "41" is shown continuously on the display, the unit is ready for operation with
optimum cleaning assured.
