8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not turn on | Power cable not connected; Power switch is OFF; No power from outlet. | Ensure power cable is securely connected. Turn the main ON/OFF switch to ON. Check the power outlet with another appliance. |
| No ultrasonic action | Ultrasonic power knob set to 0%; Timer not set. | Adjust the POWER knob to a setting above 0%. Set the TIMER knob to a desired cleaning duration. |
| Poor cleaning results | Insufficient water/solution level; Items not fully submerged; Incorrect cleaning time/power; Inappropriate cleaning solution. | Ensure adequate liquid level. Make sure items are fully submerged. Increase cleaning time or ultrasonic power. Consider using a specialized ultrasonic cleaning solution. Ensure water temperature is appropriate (20-80°C). |
| Heating not working | Heater knob not set; Heater indicator not lit. | Turn the HEATER knob to the desired temperature. Ensure the heater indicator light is on. |
9. User Tips
- For heavily soiled items, pre-soaking them or using a suitable cleaning solution specifically designed for ultrasonic cleaners can significantly improve cleaning results.
- Always use the provided cleaning basket. Placing items directly on the tank bottom can reduce cleaning efficiency and potentially damage the ultrasonic transducers over time.
- Be cautious when cleaning delicate items such as pearls, certain gemstones, or items with loose parts, as ultrasonic vibrations might cause damage. Consult a professional if unsure.
- For optimal cleaning, especially for items with grease or stubborn dirt, ensure the water temperature is within the recommended range of 20-80°C.
