4. Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the ultrasonic cleaner and all accessories from the packaging.
- Placement: Place the unit on a stable, flat, and dry surface, ensuring adequate ventilation around the machine.
- Fill Tank: Ensure the unit is unplugged. Fill the stainless steel tank with an appropriate cleaning solution. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. The fluid level should be sufficient to cover the items to be cleaned.
- Insert Basket: Place the cleaning basket into the tank.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to operate your ultrasonic cleaner:
- Prepare Items: Place the items to be cleaned into the cleaning basket. Ensure items are not overcrowded and are fully submerged in the cleaning solution.
- Close Lid: Securely close the lid of the ultrasonic cleaner.
- Set Temperature (Optional): Turn the Temperature Control Knob to your desired temperature (70-210°F). The built-in heater will begin warming the solution. Heating speeds up the cleaning process for certain contaminants.
- Select Mode:
- Degas Mode: Toggle the 'Degas' switch to ON. This mode quickly removes dissolved gases from the cleaning solution, enhancing cavitation efficiency and preventing oxidation of cleaned objects. Run for 1-2 minutes before cleaning, especially with fresh solution.
- Gentle Mode (Semi-Wave): For delicate items like circuit boards, certain jewelry, or fragile surfaces, toggle the 'Semi-Wave' switch to ON. This halves the ultrasonic power, providing a gentler cleaning action.
- Standard Mode (Full Wave): For general cleaning and stubborn grime, ensure the 'Full Wave' switch is ON (and 'Semi-Wave' is OFF). This utilizes the full ultrasonic power.

- Set Time: Turn the Time Control Knob to your desired cleaning duration (1-30 minutes). The digital display will show the countdown.
- Start Cleaning: The unit will automatically start the cleaning process once the time is set. Ultrasonic waves will generate cavitation bubbles that dislodge dirt and grime.
- Finish: Once the timer reaches zero, the cleaning cycle will stop. Unplug the unit before removing items.
- Rinse Items: Carefully remove the basket and rinse the cleaned items under clean water to remove any remaining solution or loosened debris. Dry thoroughly.

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ultrasonic cleaner:
- Draining: After each use, especially if the solution is dirty, unplug the unit and carefully drain the cleaning solution.
- Cleaning the Tank: Wipe the inside of the stainless steel tank with a soft cloth. For stubborn residue, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or immerse the unit in water.
- Storage: Store the cleaner in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture when not in use. Ensure the tank is empty and dry.
