instruments, to verify they can undergo automatic cycles of thermal disinfection, and that they are resistant

to the temperatures reached during the washing cycle.

 To avoid dirt drying on the instruments: make sure the time between the taking of the instruments and their

washing in the device is as short as possible.

 During the operations of insertion and removal of the cart / trolley from the wash tank, please pay attention

not to excessively stress the product: let the cart run along the tracks and avoid bumps and carefully place
it, so that the water manifold is lined to the connections on the tank.
