COMMON CLEANING METHODS

NOTE: During cleaning, dirt will come off like a cloud and the water will gradually become murky. This is
debris being removed from the instruments and indicates the instruments are being cleaned.
Cleaning Method:
1. Put the items to be cleaned in the recommended container. Add your instrument cleaning solution.
We recommend OPTIM 28 Instrument Cleaner. Make sure you follow the instrument cleaning
solution instructions for use.
2. Place the container in the tank directly. Add water to a level between MIN and MAX at least half
inch or 13mm above the bottom of the container but, not over the container.
3. Turn the power switch on. Touch Time key to set the timer to 10 minutes. Consult your cleaner
and/or instrument Directions for Use for proper time. Press Start/Stop key twice to start cleaning.
Ultrasonic waves will penetrate the container and clean the items.
Selection of the container:
1. Plastic containers – Soft and will absorb 30% - 40% of ultrasound waves, reducing the cleaning effect
2. Aluminum containers – Absorbs ~20% of ultrasonic energy.
3. Glass beakers – Absorb ~5-10% of ultrasonic energy
4. Stainless steel containers – Absorbs ~8% of ultrasonic energy.
