Metal Grid Installation (Optional)
1. Tilt the metal grid (A) to place it in the chamber (B). Next, adjust the grid so that it is in the upper part of the chamber (C).
2. Slide the grid on the back pins (A) and move it back (B).
3. Move the grid forward (A) so that it is on the front pins (B).
Adding the Solvent
2. Pour solvent into the wash bottle. Fill the tank with liquid up to the line marked with arrows (the most optimum level). Tightly close the solvent container and put it in a safe place. For smoothing process use only dedicated solvents: pure acetone or pure butanone (MEK). Do not use other solvents.
1. Open the filler cover (A) and unscrew the filler cap (B). Wear safety gloves and glasses.

Smoothing Process
2. Place a model on the platform. If you smooth several models, keep appropriate distance between them (2-5 cm [0.8-2 in]).
You can also suspend the models on the metal grid using hooks deliver with the device.
1. Open the chamber door.
2. Place a model on the platform. If you smooth several models, keep appropriate distance between them (2-5 cm [0.8-2 in]).
You can also suspend the models on the metal grid using hooks deliver with the device.
3. Close the door. Select settings: mode, solvent type, material type, smoothing intensity and start the smoothing process.
