Table 2 should also be used as a general guideline for selecting cycle lengths for most
models.There are some factors that cause the support removal process to take longer such as
model geometry, small support filled crevices, small blind holes, or low water temperature
coming into the system.
Table 2 Cycle Length Settings
Start cycle
When the proper cleaning tank level and cycle length are set, press the start cycle button. The
system locks the lid and begins the process of filling the cleaning tank, heating the solution, and
starts the cleaning of models inside the cleaning tank.
After the initial cleaning of the models, the system drains and then refills with clean water for a
final rinse and drain cycle. When the cleaning cycle completes, the left-hand progress LED will
turn from yellow to green and the lid unlocks.
Remove the models
Let the solution drain off of the models for a few minutes then remove the models, wash off any
remaining solution and dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.

Progress LEDs
When the cleaning cycle is started, all the progress LEDs are illuminated in yellow. Each
progress LED from right to left will turn off as the cycle time progresses. When the cleaning cycle
is complete, the left-hand progress LED will turn from yellow to green.
Combined Build Times Cycle Selection Approximate Cycle Times
≤ 4 hrs. Short 3 hrs.
4 to 12 hrs. Medium 6 hrs.
> 12 hrs. Long 12 hrs.
NOTE : When placing more than one model in the same cleaning cycle, use the combined
build times of all the models to determine the correct cycle length setting. Combined build
time means the sum of the individual build times of each model put into the model basket.
