1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing the CREWORKS 10L Digital Ultrasonic Cleaner. This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your ultrasonic cleaner. Please read it thoroughly before use and retain it for future reference.

This ultrasonic cleaner utilizes high-frequency sound waves to create cavitation bubbles in a cleaning solution. These bubbles gently yet powerfully scrub surfaces, removing dirt, grime, and contaminants from various items without harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing. It is ideal for industrial applications, cleaning engine parts, tools, jewelry, and more.
