different materials at various exposure times (see below)
Your Grant ultrasonic cleaning bath can be set so that the cleaning fluid is up to 70°C.
This means that parts of your ultrasonic cleaner will be above the recommended
maximum temperature.
If you operate your ultrasonic cleaner at temperatures above the recommended
maximum, then Grant advise that you conduct a risk assessment, and if appropriate
fix a "Caution – Hot" warning label to your machine.
