5. Operating Instructions
Operating your Hogance Ultrasonic Cleaner is straightforward:
- Prepare Items: Place the items you wish to clean into the plastic cleaning basket. For watches, use the provided watch stand to keep the watch head out of the water while cleaning the strap.
- Insert Basket: Carefully lower the basket with your items into the cleaning tank. Ensure items are fully submerged but not overcrowded.
- Close Lid: Place the lid securely on the unit.
- Select Cleaning Mode: Press the power/timer button repeatedly to cycle through the 6 preset cleaning times: 90s, 180s, 280s, 380s, 480s, and 600s (degassing mode). Choose the appropriate time based on the item's dirtiness and material.
- Start Cleaning: Once the desired time is selected, the cleaning process will begin automatically after a few seconds. The digital display will show the remaining time.
- End of Cycle: The unit will automatically stop when the cleaning cycle is complete. You will hear a beep.

Degassing Mode (600s):
The 600-second mode is specifically designed for degassing. This process removes dissolved gases from the cleaning liquid, which can interfere with ultrasonic wave transmission. Running this mode for a few minutes, especially with fresh water, ensures maximum cleaning efficiency by allowing the cavitation bubbles to form more effectively.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ultrasonic cleaner, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not power on. | No power supply; loose power cord. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the unit and a working electrical outlet. Check the outlet with another appliance. |
| Cleaning effect is poor. | Insufficient water/solution; too many items; air bubbles in liquid; incorrect cleaning time. | Ensure water level is adequate. Do not overcrowd items. Run degassing mode (600s) for 5-10 minutes. Increase cleaning time or add a suitable cleaning solution. |
| Unit stops during operation. | Cleaning cycle completed; overheating protection activated. | This is normal if the cycle finished. If not, unplug the unit and let it cool down for 10-15 minutes before restarting. |
| Unusual noise or vibration. | Items touching the tank bottom; unit not on a stable surface. | Always use the cleaning basket. Ensure the unit is placed on a flat, stable surface. |
