General Information
Standard Use
The ZEISS UVClean is specifically designed for the disinfection of
ophthalmic frames and lenses by eye care professionals. Tested
to be safe on frames in standard materials (e.g. zylo, metal,
plastic, etc.), demo lenses, Rx lenses and frame tags.
Once the ZEISS UVClean is plugged in and turned on, frames
can be loaded onto the interior rails with lenses facing up and
temples pointing down. Depending on size of the frames,
between 6-10 eyeglasses can be loaded.
A disinfection cycle is started by closing the lid and a pressing
cycle start button on top of the ZEISS UVClean. LED lights
illuminate a pulsing blue pattern and the lid automatically locks
at the start of the cycle. Lights change to solid green and the lid
unlocks once the 40 second cycle is complete. Eyewear are now
disinfected.

disinfection of ophthalmic frames and lenses. UVC is
extremely harmful to living organisms and may cause
damage to other objects placed in this device. Please use
extreme caution when using this device for any non-tested
objects as severe damage to the device and/or object and
injury to the operator may result if misused.

Troubleshooting the UVClean
A flashing red LED indicates a device fault and the ZEISS
UVClean will not run until the fault is cleared.
Please refer to the steps below to clear possible fault
conditions.
Troubleshooting Steps
Step 1 – Reset Device
Turn off power switch on the back of the ZEISS UVClean and
wait 15 seconds. Turn the device back on. Close lid and press
the Start button on top of the lid to begin a disinfection cycle.
If the LED indicator continues to flash red, proceed to Step 2.
Step 2 – Reseat UVC Bulbs
Turn off the ZEISS UVClean and unplug from the electrical

Disinfection Maintenance Kit, please contact your
ZEISS Business Development Representative or call
Customer Service at 1-800-201-4143.
CAUTION: Only use approved ZEISS UVC replacement
bulbs. Never substitute or use other UV bulbs in the ZEISS
UVClean. UVC disinfection dosage delivered by the device
cannot be guaranteed if non-approved UV replacement
bulbs are used. Additionally, usage of non-approved UV
bulbs negates UL approval and compliance of the device.
Once all UVC bulbs are replaced, plug the ZEISS UVClean back
into the electrical outlet. Turn the device back on. Close lid and
press the Start button on top of the lid to begin a disinfection
cycle.
If the LED indicator returns to flashing red, proceed to Step 4.

Safety and Operation
Device operation safety
The ZEISS UVClean uses UVC radiation to disinfect eyewear.
UVC radiation is high energy and harmful to living tissue.
Redundant safety features are implemented into the ZEISS
UVClean to prevent accidental UVC exposure, however, it is
important to adhere to the following precautions to ensure
proper operation:
• The ZEISS UVClean is specifically designed to disinfect
ophthalmic frames and lenses.
• DO NOT pour, spray or use liquids in the device.
• DO NOT disassemble.
• DO NOT place device near extreme heat or open
flames.
• DO NOT use the ZEISS UVClean to disinfect liquids.
• DO NOT block air intake on the back of the lid.
Failure to adhere to these instructions may lead to bodily
injury.
UVC bulb safety
The ZEISS UVClean is pre-calibrated and does not require
cycle time adjustments.
UVC bulbs used in the ZEISS UVClean are tested to last
30,000 cycles, or approximately 3 years, before requiring
replacement. The air filter should also be replaced at
the same time as UVC bulb replacement. Instructions on
replacing the UVC bulbs and air filter are included in the
ZEISS UVClean Ultraviolet-C (UVC) Eyeglass Disinfection
Maintenance Kit.
CAUTION: UVC exposure on 1.67 hard coat only lenses
may accelerate the aging process and reduce coating
lifetime. We always recommend using an AR coating on
high index lenses.
Ozone safety
While the ZEISS UVClean comes with an internal fan and
uses bulbs that are designed to not generate ozone, there
may be a faint smell while the device is running a cycle.
While sensitive individuals may pick up a slight odor,
extensive lab testing confirms that ozone levels are well
below any safety thresholds.
Cleaning device
Interior
To prevent dust buildup within the chamber, always keep
the ZIESS UVClean lid closed when not in use. Never spray
or pour liquid cleaners inside the device.
Exterior
The device exterior may periodically be wiped with a soft
cloth and mild cleaner. Never use harsh chemicals or spray
cleaner directly onto the ZEISS UVClean. Always spray
cleaner onto soft cloth, then wipe the outside surface of the
device.
CAUTION: Never use liquid cleaner or pour liquids
directly into the ZEISS UVClean. Severe damage to the
device or bodily injury may occur.
Preventative maintenance
The following preventative maintenance tips can help to
keep your ZEISS UVClean running effectively:
Clean frame holder rails
Frame holder rails should be clean and dust-free to ensure
optimum UVC illumination and exposure to eyewear. On
a weekly basis, wipe frame holder rails with a ZEISS Pre-
Moistened Lens Wipe or any lens cleaner sprayed on a soft
cloth. Never spray lens cleaner directly on rails or inside the
device chamber.
Remove dust from cleanout tray
A cleanout drawer collects dust in the device and should
be emptied periodically. Locate the cleanout drawer on the
back of the ZEISS UVClean. Pull the drawer open and dump
out any dust or lint accumulated in the tray. A small, dry
brush may be used to remove collected dust. Do not use
spray or liquid chemicals to clean the drawer.
Recycling and Disposal of used UVC bulbs
UVC bulbs contain trace amounts of mercury and should
be disposed of according to local regulations for florescent
lamps.
Alternatively, used UVC bulbs can be returned for recycling
if local options are unavailable. Place used UVC bulbs in
the box from the replacement bulbs and return using the
mailing label enclosed in the ZEISS UVClean Ultraviolet-C
(UVC) Eyeglass Disinfection Maintenance Kit.
