2. WASTE SYSTEM CLEANING — After emptying the waste
tank each day, the waste system should be cleaned.
The waste system consists of:
• Waste tank
• Waste discharge hose
• HVE (high volume ejector) valve and vacuum line
• Saliva ejector (low volume) valve and vacuum line
Cleaning steps:
a. Prepare 1 liter of a 1:10 bleach solution (1 part household
bleach to 9 parts water).
b. Remove the disposable ends from both the HVE and saliva
ejector valves.
c. Vacuum half of the bleach solution through the HVE valve,
then the other half through the saliva ejector valve by
putting the tip of each valve in the bleach solution.
d. Flush each valve and line by vacuuming 1/2 liter of clean
water through each valve.
e. Empty the waste tank following the instructions in step1
above.
f. Clean the outside of the ejector valves and hoses with a

separator lters out particu-
late matter while the waste
water is being pumped out of
the unit. A signicant drop in
waste discharge pressure will
occur when the amalgam sep-
arator becomes full of solids.
Replacement amalgam sep-
arators (PN 730595) are avail-
able through Aseptico. Refer
to the label on the amalgam
separator for the address of
an approved amalgam recy-
cler. Replace the separator
by unscrewing the amalgam
separator retaining knob B
