06 Û CLEANING AND STERILIZATION
CAUTION: Do not attempt to unscrew
or turn the connector when disconnecting
the handpiece. The connector could get
damaged.
CAUTION: Do not immerge the
handpiece in disinfectant solutions or other
liquids, because it could get damaged.
CAUTION: Do not immerge the
handpiece in an ultrasonic tank.
CAUTION: If you intend to disinfect,
we recommend that you use water-based
disinfectant solutions with a neutral pH
(pH7). Alcohol-based disinfectant solutions
and hydrogen peroxide are contra-
indicated, because they can fade the color
and/or damage the plastic materials. This
also holds true for chemical products such
as acetone and alcohol. Always rinse with
sterile water to preserve the disinfection.
CAUTION: Once used, correctly dispose
of the enzymatic detergent solution, do
not recycle.
