5.5.1 Clean the gold trap
Clean the gold trap
The gold trap retains larger solid particles to prevent them from being
washed down the drain in the cuspidor bowl. The amalgam rotor must be
replaced and the sediment container must be emptied less often.
Amalgam residues, amal gam rotor and sedi ment container
1. Remove the gold trap from the drain of the cuspidor bowl.
2. Remove the amalgam residues from the gold trap. Amalgam residues
must be disposed of separately.
3. Clean the gold trap.
4. Reinsert the gold trap.
5.5.2 Clean and disinfect the cuspidor bowl
Clean and disinfect the cuspidor bowl
The cuspidor, the tumbler holder A and the tumbler outlet B can be
sprayed and wiped with surface disinfectants.
Clean and disinfect the cuspidor bowl with a special cleaning agent. This
agent will also care for the drain lines of the cuspidor bowl.
Vacuum system, foaming cleaning agents
The cuspidor bowl is attached to the water unit via a bayonet catch and
can be removed for thorough cleaning. The tumbler holder (A) can be left
attached when doing this.
CAUTION
Amalgam residues must not enter the public sewage system.
Amalgam is a mercury compound that is hazardous to water.
➢ Do not dispose of amalgam residues in a sink.
➢ Collect amalgam residues e.g. in a closed container with water.
Dispose of amalgam residues, e.g. when replacing the amalgam
rotor by filling the amalgam residues into the amalgam rotor or when
emptying the sediment container.
NOTICE
Domestic cleaning agents foam up.
Foaming cleaning agents often cause foam and water to be sucked into
the dry suction system. This can cause damage to the suction machine.
➢ Use only care and cleaning agents which have been approved by
Sirona, see "Care and cleaning agents" [ → 170].
