of the instructions in this user manual The equipment is designed only for its intended
application
WARNING:
Servicing and repairs should be carried out only by authorised specialists
Disconnect the power plug before starting any maintenance work
Make sure that the equipment is connected to the correct power source
Wear heat-retardant gloves when working with the Wapo-Mat III
4 Responsibility for Operation or Dama e
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

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-Mat III is designed for water-bath polymerisation All readily available plastics
can be polymerised fully automatically, slowly (up to 99 hours), and at high temperature
(99°C)
Only use the device for this type of application

6 Before Startin
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
Remove all packing material and place the unit on an even and stable surface
Check the parts included in delivery (see 8 5)
Place the unit so that the work area is freely accessible and operation is not
restricted (Please consider the structural dimensions)
Do not place the unit outdoors
Before start-up, be sure the device reaches room temperature
We strongly recommend to install the unit firmly to the discharge system, since it
is equipped with an automatic water overflow
discharge system, i e too much filled water runs out automatically, even when
the discharge cock is closed Furthermore complete emptying for cleaning
purposes etc is thus simplified
6.3 Stora e
The unit should not be stored or set up outdoors
In case of long-term storage, the unit must be protected against humidity and dust
6

7 Installation/ Commissionin / Menufunctions
Before commissioning, please install the following connections:
Firmly clamp the supplied drainage hose to the device and ensure there is a
suitable drainage facility
Insert the plug into the socket – make sure that the voltage information between the device
and the mains network is identical Fill the device with mains water to above the white
plastic ring in the container (max 18 5 litres) Switch on the mainswitch (green rocker
switch) Symbol must not appear
Water deficit
Make sure you define the device's main parameters before switching it on These settings
are performed in the set-up menu Familiarise yourself with the many options which the
system offers before starting polymeration This applies in particular to functions

Preheatin Temperature
Defines the target temperature once the main switch has been activated
The preheat temperature also applies to waiting times and rest periods Default: 65°C
If the programme temperature selected is higher, the temperature falls back to
this value when the programme ends
After defining the desired mode it may make sense to adjust the preheat temperature
of the programme temperature This avoids long heating up or cooling down phases
Timer This defines the weekday activation and deactivation times
Programs running currently have a higher priority; they are not switched off until complete

8 Operation
8.1 General Operatin Instructions
All recommendations to operate the device, whether verbal or written, are based on our
experience and tests and can therefore only be considered reference points
The Wapo-Mat III is protected against dry running
in order to prevent the heating from burning out (flashing symbol:
display on the left) While the program is running,
an alarm sounds when there is insufficient water Take care that the water level is
always above the white plastic ring (see in the housing), as the heating and the
program will otherwise shut down automatically! An additional safeguard protects
the heating against overheating; it is automatically deactivated at above 99°C
Wear heat-retardant gloves when working with the Wapo-Mat III
Unplug the device if it is not in use for a longer period
13

8.2 Operation
Fill the work device with mains water to above the white plastic ring in the container
(max 18 5 litres)
Activate main switch (green rocker switch)
Check the water level – the low water alarm must not flash
Place prepared cuvettes in the device clamp
The polymerization is started by touching the symbol or alternatively via the
parameter menu
fter the polymerations process has ended, the temperature falls/rises to the preset
temperature again

Quantity: approx 300ccm Kalk-Ex per full tank (18 5 litres water)
If there is considerable limescale present, increase the amount of Kalk-Ex appropriately
The initial supply of Kalk-Ex comes with the machine
Clean the level sensor (white plastic ring) in the tank using a nailbrush, for example
Leave KALK–EX to work for a maximum 12 hours Then drain the tank and rinse
thoroughly
Please clean the water level sensor every 14 days with a brush
