• Immerse/thoroughly drench parts in a surface decontaminate cleaner (soap and water cleaning solution).
• After 10 minutes, scrub with an instrument cleaning brush until visibly free from debris.
• Rinse all parts with warm water.
b) Sterilizing:
• Sterilize in a steam autoclave using distilled water at a temperature of 270°F (132°C)
for 20 minutes.
• Do not add chemical solutions to the autoclave.
• Do not use a chemical autoclave.
c) Disinfecting: The Microlux 2 LED hand piece and Endo-lite, Perio Probe and Proximal Carries
plastic fibers can be disinfected following these guidelines:
• Wipe all surfaces with a disinfectant comprising 72% - 55% alcohol and .33% -.5% quaternary ammo-

MAINTENANCE
!
Batteries: When replacing batteries, it is important that they be placed in proper
polarity. Unscrew the End Cap and insert two AAA batteries with the positive (+) ter-
minal in the front towards the LED. Replace the End Cap. If the Microlux 2 is not going
to be used for more than 30 days, it is recommended that the batteries be removed. In order to
save battery life and to avoid leakage you may disconnect the battery by rotating the end cap
counter-clockwise by one full turn until you see the red O-ring.
