- 3 - 1 Features The proven Wassermann WAPO - Ex combination unit, now with an easy-to-read multifunction display, is an extremely compact piece of bench top equipment, which is used for scalding wax and for polymerisation. It can take 4 half-caps for scalding and/or 6 caps in a denture for polymerisation.
The unit must be maintained and operated in accordance with this service manual. Wassermann Dental-Maschinen GmbH is not responsible for damage arising from the non-observance of these instructions.
- 5 - 3 Applications The WAPO - Ex is used for scalding up to 4 half-caps and up to 6 caps for polymerisation. A divider in the trough creates two separate chambers. You can also scald small items using a hand spray. Only use the device for this type of application.
− When the desired temperature has been reached, the yellow LED (9) goes out and the unit is ready for operation. Wear heat-resistant gloves when working with the WAPO-Ex. The WAPO - Ex has a dry-run protection device to prevent the heater burning out due to a lack of water (red LED).
- 7 - 6 Operation 6.1 Operation 1. Turn on main switch (green rocker switch). 2. The red water-level LED (10) should not come on or flash. If it does, check the water level or the water-level sensor. 3. Choose Polymerisation or Scalding. 4.

- 9 - 6.2.3 Polymerisation (choice of 3 times and 3 temperatures) The Polymerisation (1) and Set-Point (4) LEDs must be on, but not Start/Stop (7). Use the buttons as described below to set the function. This allows you to check and/or change stored values.
- 10 - 6.2.5 Setting the temperature 1. Press and hold Temperature (6), then press Start/Stop (7) once. The first character on the display (8) flashes to indicate that the value can be changed by pressing Set-Point (4) or True Value (5) while Temperature (6) is held on.
As each new value is stored, the previous value is overwritten. Warning: Pressing Scalding (2) or Polymerisation (1) and Default (5) resets the Wassermann default values. Storing the value using Polymerisation (1) and Plus (4) is confirmed by a “YES”.
- 12 - 6.5 Manual operation Once the unit is ready for use, you can, at any time, activate the hand spray by turning the ball valve (horizontal). Settings should be as described under 6.2. When you have finished, always return the ball valve to its original position (vertical). The WAPO - Ex is ready for use when the temperature is above 55°C, that is, the pump starts operation once the set temperature has been reached.
