4. Setup
- Placement: Place the ultrasonic cleaner on a stable, flat, and dry surface, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
- Fill the Tank: Open the lid and fill the stainless steel tank with an appropriate cleaning solution. Ensure the liquid level is between the 'MIN' and 'MAX' marks. For general cleaning, use water. For enhanced cleaning, use the provided CREWORKS Heavy Duty Cleaner & Degreaser solution diluted at a 1:10 ratio with water.
- Insert Basket: Place the cleaning basket into the tank.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cord into the unit's power inlet, then connect it to a grounded electrical outlet.
5. Operating Instructions
The CREWORKS 6L Ultrasonic Cleaner features intuitive controls for temperature, time, and cleaning modes.
- Power On: Turn the main power switch to the 'ON' position. The digital display will illuminate.
- Set Temperature: Use the 'TEMP' knob to set the desired cleaning temperature. The temperature range is 70-210°F (20-100°C). Heating helps improve cleaning efficiency, especially for stubborn grime.
- Set Timer: Use the 'TIME' knob to set the cleaning duration. The timer can be set from 1 to 30 minutes. For delicate items, start with a shorter duration.
- Select Cleaning Mode:
- Degas Mode: Press the 'DEGAS' button. This mode removes dissolved gases from the cleaning solution, which can improve ultrasonic efficiency and prevent oxidation of cleaned objects. It is recommended to run a degas cycle for a few minutes when using fresh solution.
- Gentle Mode: Press the 'GENTLE' button. This mode reduces the ultrasonic intensity, providing a softer cleaning action suitable for delicate or sensitive items that might be damaged by full power cavitation.
- Start Cleaning: Once temperature, time, and mode are set, press the 'ON/OFF' button to start the ultrasonic cleaning process. The unit will automatically stop when the timer expires.
- After Cleaning: Turn off the unit, unplug it, and carefully remove the cleaning basket. Rinse the cleaned items with clean water and dry them thoroughly.
6. Using the CREWORKS Heavy Duty Cleaner & Degreaser Solution
The included 34 fl oz CREWORKS Heavy Duty Cleaner & Degreaser solution is designed to enhance the cleaning power of your ultrasonic cleaner, particularly for stubborn grease, oil, and grime.
- Dilution: This is a concentrated solution. Dilute it with water at a 1:10 ratio (1 part solution to 10 parts water) before adding it to the ultrasonic cleaner tank.
- Applications: Ideal for cleaning engine parts, carburetors, gun parts, electronic components, bicycle chains, metals, and plastics. It effectively removes grease buildup, persistent residues, tight corner grime, and stubborn stains.
- Compatibility: Safe for use with most metals, alloys, and plastics. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.
7. Maintenance and Cleaning
- Draining the Tank: After each use, especially with cleaning solutions, drain the tank. Use the drain valve located on the side of the unit to empty the liquid into a suitable container.
- Cleaning the Tank: Rinse the stainless steel tank with clean water. Wipe the interior and exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the main unit in water.
- Storage: Ensure the unit is completely dry before storing. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
