Assembly and installation, initial commissioning Safety Be sure to read this chapter completely before initial commissioning and observe the safety instructions of the relevant sub-items. Assembly and installation Connecting to the power supply Net conditions: The connection conditions must correspond to the specifications on the type plate. In order to avoid static charging, it is essential to ensure that the earthling is correct.
Loading of the jars If the jars are already in the machine at delivery, follow the instructions below to remove the empty jars from the machine. Preparation of the jars Due to the manufacturing process, dust or dirt may be present in the jars. Before first use the jars should be rinsed quickly in order to avoid foreign objects in the cleaning media.
Fill Use only permissible cleaning / rinsing media For safety reasons as well as to avoid machine damage, only authorized materials may be used. Observe the notes on the recommended media and operating materials as well as restrictions on operating materials. Fire and explosion hazard! Observe the applicable safety regulations when handling flammable solvents according to the safety data sheets of the media used.

Operating modes 9.1.1 Program m ode (automatic mode) 9.1.2 Bath change mode Special tools, operating media, material No tools are required for normal operation. If, during normal operation, it is necessary to change between two basket holder sizes, a stocked screw size of 2.0 mm is required. Cleaning media must be used as required, considering the manufacturing requirements and / or exclusions.
Insert cleaning basket After the usual loading of the individual basket inserts, open the door to the cleaning machine again and fix the basket holder on the shaft again with one hand. Press the cleaning basket slightly upwards and allow it to engage with a slight twist. Check the correct position of the cleaning basket on the basket holder to prevent it from being released during operation.
Fill the jars with the desired liquids until they are marked. In order to ensure proper operation of the cleaning machine and to achieve an optimum cleaning result, the filling level of the equipment must always be +/- 5 mm around the filling level mark. A too low filling level causes unsatisfactory cleaning results and can cause damage to the cleaning material due to the mechanical friction on the cleaning baskets.
