The retaining frames (SR), (SRM), the sieve inserts (SB), (SBH), as well as the grinding insert

(SBH) can be easily and effectively cleaned dry or wet with a hand brush with plastic bristles. All
parts are also dishwasher suitable.
Sieve inserts (SB), (SBH) with finer mesh sizes can also be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaning-
bath. As cleaning agent, water together with a standard surfactant is recommended. The
cleaning in the ultrasonic bath usually takes two to three minutes. After that the sieve inserts are
thoroughly rinsed with water and dried. The cleaning with strong bases or acids is generally not
recommended.
Drying ovens of various sizes can be used for drying sieve inserts.
Additional information concerning ultrasonic cleaning-baths and drying ovens can be found on
