Maintenance Guide for Anycubic Wash & Cure Max Machine
How to deal with wastewater
The waste liquid contains some leftover resin. Before disposing of the waste, you should allow it to fully cure. Simply let the liquid stay still for over 10 hours for precipitation and settling. Then, pour off the top layer of liquid into drainer, and you can discard the bottom wastewater directly after exposing it to the sunlight.
How to recycle the dirty cleaner
First, pour the dirty cleaner into a larger open container and let it settle for about 10 hours. After settling, filter the upper cleaner and store it back into the machine's detergent tank, then keep it under seal. Finally, expose the remaining liquid at the bottom to sunlight. Once the resin in the used cleaner has solidified, it can be disposed of as regular trash.
How to clean the machine
Clean the rotor: The rotor may become dirty and operate abnormally after long-term use. You can remove the rotor from the drum for cleaning. Simply loosen the screws at the top to easily take it out for cleaning.
Clean/replace the filter mesh: Regularly maintaining the filter is essential. The filter collects these small particles as the cleaner or water is drained to ensure they do not block the pipes. You will find two filters inside the bottom of the washing drum, so you can remove them for cleaning or replacement.
Clean/replace the filter in the tank: Similar to the filter mesh at the bottom of the machine, the filters in the water and cleaner tanks also require regular cleaning to prevent blockages. Locate them at the end of the pipes that connect to the tank caps. Remove them and clean with a brush.
Clean the drum: Pour water into the drum and clean it with a soft scraper. Never scratch the inner wall with sharp objects. After cleaning, start the Wash & Cure Max and long press the 'CANCEL'/'RESET' button for 3 seconds and then it will drain off the waste water.
*Caution: Make sure you have turned off the machine and unplugged the power cord before cleaning.
