NOTICE!
Incompatible cleaning agents:
Some device components are made of plastic. Solvents may dissolve plastics. Powerful acids or
bases may cause embrittlement of the plastics.
For cleaning the plastic components and surfaces, do not use hydrocarbon-containing solvents,
detergents with an alcohol content of more than 10% or powerful acids and bases!
Chloride-containing disinfectants:
Chloride-containing disinfectants may corrode stainless steel.
Use only disinfectants that do not affect stainless steel!
 Do not use sodiumhypochlorite solutions such as Purex and Clorox. These can cause
corrosion and pitting of stainless steel.
 Do not use steel wood pads such as Brillo. These pads deposit carbon particles in the work
space.
Alcoholic disinfectants:
Disinfectants with an alcohol content of more than 10% may form, in combination with air, easily
combustible and explosive gas mixtures.
When using such disinfectants, avoid open flames or exposure to excessive heat during the entire
disinfection process!
 Use such disinfectants only in adequately ventilated rooms.
 After the disinfectant has been allowed to react, wipe the cleaned device components
thoroughly dry!
 Observe safety regulations to avoid fire and/or explosion hazard caused by alcohol-containing
disinfectants!
Water supply:
The water tray of the work space can hold up to 3.0 l of processed water. When the running
operation, always keep a sufficient quantity of processed water of the following quality available:
 Demineralized and distilled or autoclaved for sterilization
or
 Completely deionized and distilled or autoclaved for sterilization
