To disinfect the item/object, just put that inside on the grill, close the glass front door, and choose the timer depending on type and size. Then click on start and the system’s inside light will switch on for that particular time period to disinfect the object. Once the disinfection is completed, it will notify you with a beep sound. Thus, you can complete other tasks rather than waiting in-front of the system.
If you are disinfecting key rings or any other small item, it would take two minutes only. While disinfecting products like mobile phones, bottles, wallets, power bank, etc. you can set 3 minutes timer.
