1 Features
The proven Wassermann Wapo-Ex combination automat, 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. A housing and chamber in stainless steel contribute
to its long service life.
The unit has a low-water monitor to protect the heater, and for scalding small items, there
is a recessed lid and a hand-held spray in non-heat-conducting plastic.
The special Wapo-Ex/ IVOCAP model has an automatic water-level regulator.
• Combined table automat for scalding and polymerisation; simultaneous applications
possible (see chapter 8.5)
• Prompt switch between the two modes thanks to its separate compartments
• Capacity: 4 flask halves for scalding, 6 flasks for polymerisation
• Reproducible work processes via programmable scalding and polymerisation
sequences
• Informative display, enables a variety of functions in applications
• Clock timer settings accurate to the minute and to a specific degree
• Visual and audible water level indicator
• Splash protection made of stainless steel
• Energy saving thermal insulation
• Integrated hand spray for manual scalding
• High quality construction, most parts made of stainless steel
• In factory setting the main polymerization process cuts in 90 minutes automatically
at 95° C 90 minutes before the program ends - the choice of 3 times and 3
temperatures is possible as an option

4 Responsibility for Operation or Damage
The responsibility for operating the device lies exclusively with the owner or user if said
device is incorrectly serviced, maintained or altered by persons not employed by an
authorised dealer or if the device is used in a manner contrary to its specified purpose.
The unit has to be maintained and operated in accordance with this user manual.

nonobservance of these instructions.
Warranty and responsibility provisions contained in the sales and supply conditions of
Wassermann Dental-Maschinen GmbH are not extended by these instructions.
5 Application
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.
6 Before Starting
6.1 Transport
Before transporting the unit, ensure that it has been unplugged from the power socket.
Make sure that it is packed correctly in order to avoid accidental damage.
Be sure to check for any transport damage when unpacking the goods. Note down
any damage if found.

6.2 Installation
Open the box, remove the packing materials, and carefully lift out the device and
accessories. Check the included accessories.
The device has to stand horizontally on a steady and even surface.
Install the device in a place where it will not block the working area and the
functionality (take the dimensions into account).
Do not install the unit outdoors or in places without proper ventilation.
Before start-up, be sure the device reaches room temperature.
It is very important to have the unit connected rigidly to a drainage system as very
hot water (about 95°C) is involved. It will also facilitate emptying the unit completely
for cleaning, for example.
6.3 Storage
The unit location is very important when it comes to workplace safety, even if it is only to
be set up there for a short period. The room should be dry, well ventilated and vibration-
free. An even temperature and wooden supports also help. The unit should not be stored
or set up outdoors. If the unit is to be stored for an extended period, protect it from
moisture and dust.

7 Installation/ Start-up
Before starting the unit, connect up the following:
• Use clips to attach the drain hose supplied firmly to the unit and arrange a
suitable drainage system.
Finally, insert the power plug into the socket, making sure that the mains and the unit
operate on the same voltage.
• Insert the filter white side down.
• Fill the unit with water (about 20 litres) at least up to the white plastic ring in the
container.
• Turn on the main switch (green rocker switch).
• The unit immediately heats up to its default setting (65°C), or to the last stored
scalding temperature.
• When the desired temperature has been reached, the yellow LED (9) goes out and
the unit is ready for operation.
The Wapo-Ex has a dry-run protection device to prevent the heater burning out
due to a lack of water (red LED). A warning signal also sounds while the program
is running.
Make sure that the water level is always above the white plastic ring (in the
container), otherwise the heater will cut out automatically and the red LED will
flash.
If the unit is not to be used for an extended period, pull out the power plug.
