Loading the machine

Preparation
^ Empty all containers before loading
into the machine.
Ensure that no acid or solvent
residue, especially hydrochloric acid
or chlorides, gets into the wash
cabinet.
Note
^ Load items so that water will come
into contact with all surfaces. This
ensures proper cleaning.
^ Do not place items to be cleaned
inside other pieces where they may
be concealed.
^ Hollow items should be inverted and
placed in the correct inserts. The
water must have unobstructed
access to them.
^ Deep-based items should be placed
at an angle to ensure water
coverage.
Loading the machine
^ Tall, narrow pieces should be placed
in the center of the baskets to ensure
water coverage.
^ The spray arms must not be blocked
by items which are too tall or hang
down in their path. If necessary,
manually rotate the arms to test.
^ In order to avoid corrosion, it is
recommended that only high-quality
stainless steel instruments are
cleaned in the machine.
^ Nickel plated instruments and
anodized aluminum instruments are
not suitable for machine processing.
^ Plastic items must be thermally
stable.
^ Single-use instruments must not be
put into the machine for processing.
^ As soon as the program finishes,
partially open the door of the
machine (by about 10 cm) for about
5 minutes before unloading. The
residual heat in the machine will help
achieve a good drying result and
prevent instruments from corroding.
^ As little dental cement or amalgam
remains should be on the instruments
as possible. If necessary, wipe off
excess with a swab. Otherwise,
manual cleaning is required after
thermal disinfection.
^ When loading cassettes, be sure to
angle them toward the rear of the
chamber, so as not to block the
powder detergent cup from opening.
