Cleaning agent tank option available
Cleaning the vacuum system
The sediment container is subjected to septic secretions, saliva and
blood. It is therefore important to clean the vacuum system before
removing the amalgam rotor.
If the treatment center is equipped with the chemical suction hose
cleaning option, see "Cleaning the suction hoses" [ → 192]. If this option
is not available, see “Cleaning vacuum system using adapter in the
cuspidor” [ → 193].
Removing and emptying the sediment container
Wear gloves, risk of contamination
1. Open the flap (A) on the base of the water unit.
2. Loosen the bayonet catch by turning the sediment container (B)
counterclockwise.
3. Pour the excess water out of the sediment container and collect the
amalgam residues. Dispose of these properly together with the
amalgam residues collected from the cuspidor bowl and from the
suction hoses; see "Cleaning the gold trap" [ → 198] and "Cleaning
and disinfecting the suction hoses" [ → 195]. Authorize a certified
waste management company for this purpose.
Installing the sediment container
1. Grease the O-ring (C) on the sediment container. For greases, see
"Care and cleaning agents" [ → 170].
2. Hold the sediment container (B) so that the latching noses of the
bayonet catch are positioned transverse to the water unit. Rotate the
sediment container (B) clockwise.
The sediment container is locked in place.
