5. Initial operation
P
Acking
Please keep the original packing or dispose of it ac-
cording to the relevant waste disposal regulations.
c
heck for trAnsPort dAmAges
Check the Ultrasonic Cleaning Unit for possible
transport damages before initial operation. In case of
visible damage do not connect the unit to the mains.
P
lAcement
For operation, place the unit on a dry and solid
surface. Ensure that the workplace is sufficiently
ventilated!
Do not use a soft surface (e.g. a carpet) as this may
impede the ventilation of the unit.
CAUTION
Risk of electrocution due to humidity inside
the unit! Protect the unit from entering
humidity. The unit inside is splash-water-
proof. Keep workplace and casing dry in
order to prevent electrical accidents and
damages on the unit.
A
mBient conditions
• Allowed ambient temperature during operation:
+5°C - +40°C
• Allowed relative humidity of air during operation:
max. 80%
• In-door operation only
5.1 Connecting the unit to the
mains
r
equired mAins conditions
Earth grounded socket:
• 1 phase (220-240 or 120 V);
• 1 N;
• 1 PE protective earth.
c
onnect mAins cABle
Use the plug-in mains cable delivered with the unit.
Connect the unit to a grounded shockproof socket
only. Ensure that the values indicated on the name-
plate of the unit must correspond with the available
connecting conditions.
6. Putting unit into
operation
6.1 Filling of the unit
o
BserVe filling leVel
Fill the cleaning tank with a sufficient quantity of a
suitable cleaning liquid before switch-on.
The optimum filling level is approx. 2/3 of
the tank volume.
The marked maximum filling level of the tank indi-
cates the recommended filling level with cleaning
items in the bath (Figure 1 / A).
Never fill to lower than the recommended
fill level (Figure 1 / Min).
Do not fill hot liquids into the cold ultra-
sound tank!
s
uitABle cleAning Agents
Ensure that the chosen cleaning agent is suitable
for treatment in an ultrasonic bath and observe the
instructions on dosage and the compatibility of the
material.
We recommend the use of the cleaning agents listed
in section 8.3.
P
rohiBited cleAning Agents
Flammable products are generally not allowed for use
in an ultrasonic bath. Observe the safety warnings
given in section 8.1.
CAUTION
Risk of fire and explosion!
Never use flammable liquids or solvents
directly in an ultrasonic cleaning bath.
Use the cleaning chemicals listed in
section 8.3.
Ultrasonic activity increases the vaporisa-
tion of liquids and creates a very fine mist
which can catch fire on any ignition source.
Observe the instructions on limitations of
use given in section 8.1.
Do not put the following directly into the
stainless steel tank
(Use cleaning glass, plastic container or
acid bath insert, see Accessories):
• Cleaning agents containing hydrochloric acid,
sulphuric acid, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid.
• Aqueous cleaning agents in the acid range
(pH < 7) with simultaneous entrainment of
halides (fluoride, chloride or bromide) from
contamination from cleaning parts or from
cleaning fluid.
•
Sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions
•
Household detergents

tions in section 8.2.
