6. Maintenance and Cleaning
6.1 Cleaning the instrument
Important!
The forceps holder is constantly heated to approximately 70 °C. Risk of burning!
Do not use xylene for cleaning. Xylene vapors are heavier than air and can ignite at a consider-
able distance from the source of heat.
A fire hazard exists!
To avoid scratching the surface of the instrument only the plastic spatula that is supplied with
it should be used for cleaning – on no account use metal tools!
