2. Connect the power cord to the ultrasonic cleaner first and then to the mains. Switch on the cleaner with the
power switch. The control panel automatically sets the timer at 05:00. Adjust the timer with the TIME and
buttons.
3. Close the lid and select one of the four cleaning methods (see below).
4. Press the ON/OFF button to start the cleaning process. The ultrasonic cleaner will emit a slight buzzing
sound and the timer will start counting down. The cleaning process is finished when the timer reaches
00:00. Press the ON/OFF button to interrupt the cleaning process manually. Note that, though this cleaner
is equipped with an overheating protection, we strongly recommend avoiding continuous use without letting
the cleaner cool down.
5. Switch off the ultrasonic cleaner when cleaning is finished. Open the lid, lift the basket and let the cleaned
object(s) drip. Connect the drainage tube to the fitting, open the drainage valve and drain the dirty water.
Close the drainage valve. Clean and wipe the tank dry.
Regular Cleaning
The regular cleaning method uses regular tap water and is perfect to clean lightly soiled objects like jewellery.
To use the regular cleaning method, proceed as described under the chapter General Operation above. Note
that the use of the plastic basket will protect the objects from scratching but will reduce the cleaning efficiency
by up to 30 %.
Indirect Cleaning
Use the indirect cleaning method when cleaning requires a solution or detergent. This method is perfect to
clean medical instruments, electrical and electronic components, watch and mobile phone parts, etc. Use pure
alcohol, hexane, acetone, oil or other as a cleaning solution or detergent according to the object.
1. Put the object(s) in the separate cleaning tank and add the proper solution until the object is completely
immerged.
2. Carefully place the cleaning tank into the stainless steel tank of the ultrasonic cleaner. Avoid spilling
solution fluid over the housing, as this will damage it.
3. Add regular tap water into the stainless steel tank to a level between MIN and MAX.
4. Switch on the cleaner, set the timer, close the lid and start the cleaning process.
Enhanced Cleaning
Use the enhanced cleaning method to clean heavily soiled or greasy objects like automotive parts.
1. Put the object(s) into the stainless steel tank of the ultrasonic cleaner. Do not put them on top of each
other to avoid scratches.
2. Add regular tap water into the stainless steel tank to a level between MIN and MAX.
3. Add about 3 tablespoons of dishwashing liquid.
4. Switch on the cleaner, set the temperature (45 °C or 113 °F) and timer (15 minutes), close the lid and start
the cleaning process.
5. After the cleaning process, drain the dirty water, clean the tank and refill with regular tap water. Clean for
another three minutes to rinse the cleaned object(s).
Special Cleaning
Darkened or oxidised silver, brass and copper will need special cleaning.
1. Put the object(s) into the basket and place the basket inside the tank. Fill the tank with regular tap water to
a level between the MIN and MAX markings, and so that the object(s) is (are) completely immerged.
2. Add a special solution liquid according to the instructions of the solution manufacturer.
3. Switch on the cleaner, set the temperature (50 °C or 122 °F), solution timer (40 seconds) and timer
(15 minutes), close the lid and start the cleaning process.
4. After the cleaning process, drain the dirty water, clean the tank and refill with regular tap water. Clean for
another three minutes to rinse the cleaned object(s).
How to Use the Included Accessories
 The plastic basket has foldable handles, which can be raised to let the object(s) drain. To do so, unfold
the handles, pull them down and fix them with the steel hook.
 Use the silicon strips to suspend objects such as instrument cassettes. Fix them to the tabs near the
stainless steel tank of the ultrasonic cleaner.
 Put the cleaning tank atop the stainless steel tank of the ultrasonic cleaner. You can use two cleaning
tanks simultaneously.
