6.1. Cleaning the Washing Bucket

• Regularly inspect the cleaning solution for excessive resin particles.
• When the solution becomes cloudy or ineffective, it needs to be replaced.
• To dispose of used resin-contaminated cleaning solution, expose it to sunlight until all resin particles have cured and settled. Filter out the cured resin and dispose of it as solid waste. The remaining liquid can then be disposed of according to local regulations.
• Clean the washing bucket with fresh cleaning solution or water and a soft cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before refilling.

6.2. Cleaning the Curing Station

• Wipe down the interior and exterior surfaces of the Curing Station with a soft, dry cloth.
• If resin spills occur, clean them immediately with a small amount of cleaning solution and a soft cloth. Avoid getting liquid into electronic components.
• Ensure the turntable is clean and rotates freely.

7. Te Raru

• Prints not cleaning properly: Increase wash time, ensure sufficient cleaning solution, or replace old/contaminated cleaning solution.
• Prints remain sticky after curing: Increase curing time, ensure the model is dry before curing, or verify the UV lights are functioning correctly. Ensure the protective cover is fully closed during curing.
• Karekau te waeine i te hiko: Check power connections, ensure the power adapter is securely plugged into both the unit and the wall outlet.
• Kāore te tēpu hurihuri e hurihuri: Ensure no obstructions are preventing rotation. Check if the turntable is properly seated.
