Cattani Microsmart Amalgam Recycling Pot

It is not necessary to empty the amalgam container immediately when the alarm indicates 95%.

Empty the container at the end of the working day.

1. Turn off the unit with the switch on the control panel.

2. Turn the handle underneath the amalgam container clock-wise until the container reaches the bottom of the thread.

3. Gently pull the container outward.

4. Top up the amalgam container to within 5mm of the rim with neat Puli-Jet Plus. Place the container on a solid surface and carefully place a new lid on top, twist and lock in position. Then push in the small plastic bung and twist to lock. The container is now airtight and safe for disposal*. If re-using the original amalgam container, empty the contents into an approved amalgam waste container**

5. Before replacing or refitting the new container treat the o-ring seal with a silicon based lubricant (not vaseline).

6. Replace with a new container, relocate the new container into the stainless steel guide making sure the plastic disc fits within the recess at the base of the amalgam pot.

7. Push the container forward and turn the handle anti clock-wise until container is fully located and sealed at the top of the lever. * All waste amalgam must be handled and disposed of correctly, see your practice procedures for the disposal of hazardous waste and materials. ** If the original container is to be re-used, place any small container under the tap and then empty into the approved waste container, do not pour down the sink. Clean the level sensing groove of the container with a cotton bud or similar.
