Product description
The Xioneer Vortex EZ is designed to automatically
dissolve 3D printed Xioneer VXL support material and
other soluble support materials used in FFF / FDM 3D
printing. It is intended for personal and professional use if
safety precautions are met.
The device dissolves support materials using water, which
is heated and stirred. To enable the dissolution of VXL
support materials, solution additives such as VXL EX and
VXL SOLVE can be added to the water.

Safety instructions and warnings
The following instructions must be observed when
operating the Vortex EZ:
•For safe electric disconnection, pull the cold
appliance plug on the back of the device.
•The Vortex EZ may only be operated with water
and recommended solution additives. Do not use
aggressive lye solvents.
•Never fill the Vortex EZ with flammable liquids,
liquids that produce flammable gases, or organic
solvents. This increases the risk of an explosion,
leading to injury and even death.
•If you place the device next to a wall, please ensure
to keep a distance of at least 10 cm to the wall.
Make sure that the fan plates on the back of the
device are not blocked.
•Vortex EZ may only be carried when empty.
Carrying with water or washing solution inside is
not permitted. Please empty the tank before each
transport.
•Only place the Vortex EZ on a stable, straight, dry,
heat- and moisture-resistant surface that can
carry the weight of the device including its
contents. Do not place the Vortex EZ on a soft or
unstable surface.
•The Vortex EZ should only be used indoors in a dry
and well-ventilated environment. Make sure that
there is good ventilation in the room where you
operate the device.
Page 7
•Only connect the Vortex EZ to a 230 V AC, 50 Hz
power supply (unless specified otherwise on the
device, e.g., 120VAC, 60Hz for US version). Be
careful not to bend the cable or pull on it when
unplugging it. Do not use an extension cord. The
housing of the Vortex EZ is made of metal, so
please use a grounded AC-connection. Only use
power supply cables provided by Xioneer.
•Do not reach into the Vortex EZ tank while it is in
operation.
•Always use the supplied basket for your parts. Only
lift and lower the basket using the handles.
•Place the Vortex EZ out of reach of children. It may
only be operated by adults.
•Do not use the Vortex EZ if you notice any damage
to its parts or if parts are missing.
•Avoid spilling any liquids on the controls of the
device, fan plates, or plugs. Remove excessive
moisture with a soft cloth.
•During operation the surfaces of the Vortex EZ and
the wash solution inside may become very hot.
Never reach into the hot bath with bare hands.
•It is not allowed to prepare or store food inside the
Vortex EZ or with any parts of it. VXL Support
Material, VXL SOLVE, and VXL EX are not suitable
for consumption.
•Only use water as solvent and only use VXL SOLVE,
VXL EX or similar products as solvent additives. Do
not fill more than 38 liters into the container
("MAX"). Observe the recommended dosage when
using VXL SOLVE and VXL EX.
Page 8
•VXL SOLVE and VXL EX are classified as irritants.
Therefore, always wear protective clothing
consisting at least of safety goggles and protective
gloves when using the Vortex EZ. Use the basket
when loading and unloading models.
•If your skin comes into contact with the washing
solution or dissolving powder, wash it off
thoroughly with plenty of water. If you get
washing solution or dissolving powder in your
eyes, wash it thoroughly with water for several
minutes and remove any contact lenses
beforehand. If eye or skin irritation persists, please
call emergency.
•If you have inhaled the dissolving powder, move to
a well-ventilated place and ensure unobstructed
breathing. In case of persistent indisposition,
please call emergency.
•If dissolving powder or suds are swallowed, drink
plenty of water in small sips and seek medical
attention. Do not induce vomiting.
•Remove and wash clothing that has been in
contact with dissolving solution or dissolving
powder.
•There is a risk of scalding in case of contact with
the hot wash solution or hot surfaces. In case of
scalding, ensure sufficient cooling of the affected
areas. There is also a risk of scalding when opening
the container due to escaping hot water vapor.
•Do not open the drain valve without the hose
connected.
•There is a danger of crushing and cutting on the
propeller. Do not touch the rotating propeller.

•Only service or remove the propeller when the unit
is switched off, unplugged, cooled down, and
completely empty.
•Please mind the minimum fill level (MIN). Do not
use Vortex EZ when fill level is lower than “MIN”
marking. Do not power on the Vortex EZ when
tank is empty.
•Improper usage may impair the protection
supported by Vortex EZ.
•Always check Vortex EZ is safe to use after
conducting maintenance.
Preparation
Carefully unpack the Vortex EZ. Please check that all parts
are in the package according to the scope of delivery. If
there is damage to individual components or parts are
missing, do not commission the Vortex EZ and contact
your vendor. Before initial start-up, the Vortex EZ must be
acclimated to the ambient conditions. To do this, leave it
in the intended environment for at least 1 hour.
Scope of delivery
The following components are included in the package:
•1x Vortex EZ support removal station
•1x Basket
•1x filling and drain hose incl. hose clamp

Set up
Set up the Vortex EZ on a stable, straight, dry, heat-
resistant, and moisture-resistant surface. When setting
up, consider the weight of the tank including the wash
solution of approx. 60 kg. Furthermore, the Vortex EZ
may only be used in a dry and well-ventilated indoor
environment. Ideally, place the container near a sink or
near a water connection. This facilitates filling and
subsequent emptying of the solvent.
Commissioning and filling
Fill the container with tap water up to the "MAX" indicator.
To do this, you can use the hose from the accessories and
mount it on a faucet with a suitable attachment.
Remove any water splashes on the outside of the unit
with a soft cloth.
Plugin the power cord of the Vortex EZ and switch it on.
The power cord must not be under tension.
Turn on the stirrer with the stirrer knob. The stirrer should
now begin to rotate audibly. You can regulate the stirring
speed. Turn the knob all the way to the right for maximum
rotation speed.
Close the lid of the container device. Use the large control
dial to set the desired temperature (maximum 85 °C).
When the desired temperature is reached, the red lamp
next to the temperature control will switch itself off.
