damage.
WARNING – DISPOSAL HAZARD:
This product contains materials which may require disposal through appropriately licensed and
permitted hazardous waste management firms.
CAUTION – POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
Never use CLEANING Chamber as a sink. Under no circumstances should waste water be poured into
cleaning chamber as water could overflow drain and damage delicate components.
Never drop or rest parts directly on chamber bottom top of transducers.
Never scratch chamber walls or transducers. This can increase cavitation erosion.
When choosing a detergent, select one with a low chloride content. Detergents with a high chloride
content can be harmful to stainless steel.
Repeated fuse burnouts indicate a short circuit or overload. Have a fully trained technician locate and
correct situation.
Use nonabrasive cleaners when cleaning unit. Follow directions on container and rub in a back-and-
forth motion, in same direction as surface grain. Abrasive cleaners damage stainless steel. Cleaner
rubbed in a circular motion or applied with a wire brush or steel wool will scratch and dull stainless
steel. Do not use these cleaners on painted surfaces.
Failure to remove shipping bracket and hardware from lid counterweights will result in lid and/or unit
cabinet damage.
REMEMBER – POSSIBLE TIME DELAY:
Insufficient clearance space will make repairs more difficult and time-consuming. Refer to the
equipment drawing for minimum clearance for service/maintenance access requirements.
