Information
– You can turn the knob in both directions.
– You can extend, shorten or switch off the sonication at any time.
– The timer only works if mains voltage is present. Without mains
voltage, the locking of the turning knob can hardly be felt.
5.6 Switching the heating on and off

WARNING
Risk of scalding
During heating, vapour bubbles can rise explosively under certain
conditions (boiling delay).
– Stir the sonication fluid now and then during heating or switch
on the ultrasound.
Heated sonication fluid intensifies the effect of the ultrasound.
Experience has shown that the best results are obtained with a
temperature of 50 to 60°C. This can reduce the sonication time. At
higher temperatures, the effect of the ultrasound decreases again.
Do not heat sonication fluid for reprocessing medical instruments
above 45 °C.
Ultrasound also warms up the sonication fluid. During continuous
operation, especially when the oscillating tank is covered, the tem-
perature of the sonication fluid may rise above the set value.
Therefore, check the temperature when treating temperature-sen-
sitive objects.
• Observe the specifications of the preparation manufacturer to
achieve the optimal temperature.
