Emptying the sediment container
In addition to other solid particles, a large portion of the amalgam
residues are trapped in the sediment container by gravitational force.
WARNING
Empty the sediment container in cycles that are appropriate for your
work method, but at least every 4 weeks.
The sediment container is installed only if neither an amalgam separator
nor a standard wet suction is installed.
Cleaning the drain lines of the cuspidor
The sediment container is exposed to secretions, saliva and blood that
contain bacteria. It is therefore important to clean the drain lines before
replacing the sediment container, see Cleaning the drain lines of the
cuspidor" [→ 243].
Removing and emptying the sediment container
WARNING
Wear gloves when performing the following work.
1. Open the flap (A) on the base of the water unit.
2. Loosen the bayonet catch by turning the sediment container (B)
counterclockwise.
3. Pour the excess water out of the sediment container and collect the
amalgam residues. Dispose of these properly together with the
amalgam residues collected from the cuspidor bowl and the suction
hoses; see "Cleaning the gold trap" [→ 241] and "Cleaning the filters
in the suction hoses and disinfecting the suction hoses" [→ 239].
Authorize a certified waste management company for this purpose.
Installing the sediment container
1. Lubricate the O-ring (C) on the sediment container. For lubricants,
see "Lubrication, cleaning, and disinfecting agents" [→ 198].
