Ultrasound-conductive liquids and materials
Ultrasound damages the cell membranes and bone structure.
• Do not reach into the ultrasonic bath during ultrasound operation.
• During ultrasound operation, do not touch any parts that conduct ultrasound, such as the tank,
basket or any accessories used.
Ultrasound noise emissions
Working with ultrasonic cleaning units for longer periods of time can damage your hearing.
• Use the lid or wear personal ear protection when working on ultrasonic units.
• Pregnant women must not be subjected to the noise emissions for longer periods of time.
• Keep animals away from the vicinity of ultrasonic devices.
Electromagnetic radiation

Use of cleaning agents
A cleaning agent can be added to the liquid in the tank to improve the cleaning results.
If using cleaning agents, observe and apply the instructions stated in the safety data sheet and

4.2
Cleaning agents
Use of aggressive, corrosive cleaning agents:
Aggressive, corrosive cleaning agents can cause severe chemical burns if they come into contact with
eyes or skin. Insufficient ventilation can result in severe chemical burns to the respiratory tract.
• Before using any cleaning agents, read the safety data sheet and product information and observe
and apply the instructions.
• Where necessary, install an effective extractor system for the emitted vapours (e.g. at higher tem-
peratures) and regularly check that the extractor system is working correctly.
• Never reach into the tank when filled with cleaning agent.
• Wear suitable protective equipment in line with the safety data sheet.
Danger of fire or explosion when using combustible cleaning agents
Ultrasound and heat increase the evaporation of liquids and form extremely fine mists that readily ig-
nite on contact with sources of ignition. This can result in severe burns or death.
