After cooling (about 5 min.), this control light will go out and dispersion can be continued.
When the PTFE bearing in the dispersion tool becomes worn, it must be
replaced. See the Cleaning and Maintenance chapter.
Wear can be recognized from the increased play between the rotor (O) and the
PTFE bearing (Q) or the increased level of noise.
Caution: The tool and fluid for dispersion are heated by the energy input.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
5 Drive Unit
For cleaning, you can wipe down the housing and surface of the device with a moist cloth
(mild soap solution).
Note:
Never use chlorine bleach, chlorine-forming cleansers, abrasives, ammonia,
steel wool or cleaning agents with metal particles. They can damage the surface
of the device.

6 Dispersing Tool
To avoid contamination, the dispersing tool must be cleaned after every
dispersing process.
6.1 Cleaning
Clean the dispersion tool with a suitable cleaning fluid (depending on the medium
processed). Run the dispersing tool in the cleaning fluid so that the internal parts are also
cleaned. If the tool is extremely dirty, the dispersing tool can be disassembled for cleaning.
