Ball sterilizer for manicure tools: how to use? – Setafi

Sterilizers are just as necessary in the field of manicure as they are in medicine: without a properly processed equipment, it is impossible to carry out procedures so as not to introduce any bacteria from a past client next. Therefore, they came up with a glasperlenic or ball sterilizer.

In our article, we will tell you in detail how to use the sterilizer correctly, what it is and how to carry out the procedures quickly and efficiently. Go!

What is ball sterilization instrument

The ball sterilizer is a small device for steaming all hand-held equipment. The temperature inside the system ranges from 160 to 250 degrees. Under the pressure of hot steam, all harmful microbes and bacteria simply die - you can safely work with the next client.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the device in question

The Glasperlen device has a number of undeniable advantages, including:

• dense exposure to high temperature on a hairdressing tool;
• processing is carried out in just 10-20 seconds;
• incredible efficiency in the fight against even the most dangerous types of bacteria and viruses (for example, hepatitis);
• the instruments remain intact for more than one season - the temperature does not affect the instruments in any way;
• saves energy;
• work without interruption allows you not to stop the work of your salon and receive a stream of visitors;
• mobility of the device and its small size;
• unique and modern appearance;
• the price of such devices is within reason, if you do not buy too fancy models.

However, for some masters, shortcomings were also identified. They do not affect work so much, but still sometimes appear:

• compactness played on capacity. If your salon is already too big, then you are unlikely to stop at one sterilizer;
• processing exclusively metal tools - plastic will simply melt;
• the handles of the same scissors remain at the top without the influence of the apparatus. The result is that only the working surface is processed, and not the entire bag.

Conclusion: for most small salons or studios, the device is simply fine. For the network, you should think about something else, more stationary and larger.

How to use a ball sterilizer for manicure instruments

We will divide the complete instructions for the sterilizer into several stages: the first connection, use, storage and others. After all, each of them has its own characteristics, which are worth talking about.

Ball sterilizer - instructions for the first use

First of all, we get acquainted with the manual (the operating rules that come with the machine). Before turning on, fill the device with balls, close the lid and plug it into a power outlet. The instructions for the ball sterilizer indicate that you cannot open the lid while heating the quartz elements - you can get burned!

The unit is turned on by pressing the start button. Some models have an additional sensor. It notifies the user that the system is on and heating has begun.

The system heats up to about 250 Celsius. How to understand that it is ready: detect exactly 15 minutes or follow the indicator - if it goes out, then everything is ready for use.

Now you can carefully open the lid and throw in all the manicure equipment. 30 seconds are enough for complete processing, after which the processed instruments should be carefully removed. The lid closes and the sterilizer is switched off from the mains.

Instructions for storing a ball sterilizer for manicure instruments

The whole procedure consists of two parts: proper care and storage of the device. It is best to keep your device in its original box. The room should have low moisture parameters and average air temperature.

Before putting the sterilizer into the box, inspect it:

• whether it is disconnected from the network;
• is everything okay with the plug;
• whether the device is cold.

Maintenance and repair is the most important component of the continuous operation of the ball machine. All procedures must be carried out by specialists. All you need is the following:

• After a working day, the case and the working part are well wiped with a rag;
• If you notice damage to the cable or other parts, contact the service center immediately. Up to this point, connecting the power supply is strictly prohibited!

Precautionary measures

Without special safety rules, nowhere. Here we have tried to highlight a few, in our opinion, the main ones:

1. Before cleaning the machine, make sure it is cold and not plugged in.
2. After cleaning, wait a couple of hours, and only then connect the sterilizer.
3. Systematic cleaning is carried out even when the device is not working on an ongoing basis.
4. We remove only the container, body and lid.
5. If liquid gets inside the device, wait until it dries out (if it only got a couple of drops) or take the device to a service.
6. When washing the machine, do not use cleaning chemicals. Only a damp cloth or towel.
7. After finishing all work, wipe wet areas with dry wipes.
8. In case of maintenance difficulties, look at the instructions or write to us in the comments. We'll decide everything!

How to use a sterilizer - first you need to buy it right!

All devices are similar to each other in terms of the method of instrument disinfection. But it is the purchase that is influenced by several working factors that should not be ignored:

• the maximum heating rate of the system must be at least 250 degrees, otherwise the manicure devices simply will not be sterilized;
• assembly material - only metal or fire-resistant plastic;
• rubber feet or other strong mounts will obviously not interfere, but will only benefit the stability of the device.

The purchase must be carried out only in stores that specialize in manicure equipment! They have all the licenses and assurances about the quality of the product, which may not be in regular chain stores. Before paying, fully check all documents, warranty and return policy (just in case).
