Various components are made of plastic or are plastic-
coated to make them pleasant to touch and handle.
However, incorrect cleaning with unsuitable detergents
can damage the plastic. Please observe the following

• in an ultrasonic cleaner. The plastic may become
brittle and eventually break.
• with caustic or acetone-containing substances such
as ether substitute.
• with any other solvents except ethanol and
isopropanol.
• warm soapy water, rinsing the plastic afterwards
with distilled water.
• ethanol (industrial alcohol) and isopropanol.
Always take appropriate safety precautions when using
