6. Maintenance

• After each use, unplug the device and empty the water from the tank.
• Wipe the stainless steel tank and the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Ensure the unit is completely dry before storing it.
• Store the cleaner in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

7. Troubleshooting

Q: The unit does not turn on or the display is blank.

A: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the unit and the wall outlet. Ensure the power outlet is functional.

Q: The unit is on, but I don't see bubbles or strong water movement.

A: Ultrasonic cleaners produce large numbers of tiny air bubbles that may not be visible to the naked eye. You should hear a very low-pitched hum and feel a mild vibration or subtle water ripples. To test, place a small piece of aluminum foil in the water; if the cleaner is working, it should develop tiny perforations.

Q: The water temperature becomes higher after cleaning.

A: This is a normal phenomenon. When the converter transforms sound waves into kinetic energy, a portion of that energy is converted into heat, which can slightly raise the water temperature.

Q: Can I add cleaning fluid to improve efficiency?

A: For general items, clean water is sufficient. For items with oil stains or grease, a small amount of mild, non-corrosive detergent can be added. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Q: Does the ultrasonic cleaner kill bacteria?

A: Ultrasonic cleaners primarily provide a physical cleaning function by removing stains and dirt from surfaces and crevices. Sterilization is a biological/chemical function and cannot be achieved by any ultrasonic cleaner alone.
