STERILIZATION & MAINTENANCE:
HANDPIECES
- Thorough cleaning and
lubrication of handpieces after each use and
before sterilization is very important to ensure
proper operation and service life of the
handpiece. Follow the instructions provided with
the handpiece for complete maintenance
instructions.
IMPORTANT!
Protect motor
from excess oil draining from
handpiece. After lubricating and
before autoclaving, stand
handpiece by its base on a
paper towel and allow excess
oil to drain (Figure 15).
MOTOR & CORD ASSEMBLY
- The entire AE-
230M-40 motor and cord assembly is fully
autoclavable. Before autoclaving the assembly,
remove the handpiece from motor and install
autoclaving plug into end of motor as shown in
Figure 16 (a plug with sealing O-rings is
supplied with the motor). Steam autoclave
motor/cord assembly at 132° C (270° F) for five
minutes. Loosely coil the motor cord when
autoclaving. Avoid sharply bending the cord
when autoclaving. The included motor/
handpiece holding cradle is also fully
autoclavable. Alternatively, wipe down the motor
cord with disinfecting solution, and/or sleeve the
cord between each patient.

- The exterior of the console may be
cleaned by wiping with a soft cloth moistened
with mild detergent or disinfecting solution.
SILICONE WATER LINES

minutes.

controls may be cleaned by wiping with a soft
cloth moistened with mild detergent or
disinfecting solution. When cleaning the AE-
