The Frankford Arsenal EZ Sonic Extreme Cleaner is designed to
deliver state of the art cleaning power for brass as well as other parts.
The high frequency ultrasonic agitation cleans brass thoroughly
inside and out quickly, quietly and without mess. It even breaks down
the stubborn carbon build up in primer pockets. It also includes a
removable basket for convenient draining.
The Extreme Sonic Cleaner provides added cleaning power with its
heating function. It also provides increased capacity and high-wattage
ultrasonic power for processing large batches of brass or parts. Two
specialized cleaning solutions are available: one designed specically
for brass and the other for miscellaneous parts such as pistol barrels,
gas pistons, trigger groups, etc...

Heating Function
To turn on the heating function press the HEATING button once. To turn off the heating function press the HEATING
button again. The heating function can be run alone to preheat the water and/or solution or at the same time as the
cleaning function.
The water and/or solution will heat to a xed temperature of approximately 65oC /149oF.
NOTE: The heater function will deactivate once maximum water temperature is reached. The heater button will become
functional again once the water temperature drops a few degrees. It the heating button does not illuminate when pressed,
this simply means that the water in the tank is hot enough for your cleaning cycle. Try it again before the following
cleaning cycle.

Cleaning Instructions
Cleaning Instructions Other Parts
The Cleaning Instructions can be used to clean small gun parts and other reloading equipment and tools. Remember to
follow the instructions on the cleaning solution bottles and
DO NOT use the EZ Sonic Brass Cleaning Solution on non-brass items because it could harm the nish of those items.
If you wish to clean jewelry or other valuable items, make sure the tank and basket are very clean and only use distilled water
as cleaning solutions could damage the nish of your items. Remember to always read the directions and mixture ratios of
EACH cleaning solution you are going to use.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – When using this
electrical appliance, basic precautions
should always be followed including
the following:
1. Read all instructions before using this appliance.
2. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is
necessary when this appliance is used near children.
3. Do not contact moving parts.
4. Only use attachments recommended or sold by
Frankford Arsenal.
5. Do not use outdoors.
6. To disconnect, turn all controls to the off (“O”)
position, then remove the plug.
7. Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.
8. Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord or
plug, or if the unit malfunctions or is dropped or
damaged in any manner. Return the unit for
examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
9. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not put this appliance in water or other liquid.
10. Do not place or store this appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
11. Remove plug from wall outlet when this appliance is not in use.
12. Never operate this appliance unattended.
13. Operate this appliance on a non-combustible surface away from all combustible materials including
curtains, draperies, or walls.
For grounded appliance – Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor
with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair
or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with
a qualied electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch “A”. A
temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter in sketches “B” and “C”, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle
as shown in sketch “B” if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualied electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent ground such as properly grounded outlet cover box. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held
in place by the metal screw.

9. Check the brass to determine your level of
cleanliness. Most brass will be clean with 5-20
minutes of cleaning depending on their dirtiness
and level of corrosion. (Remember if you run the
unit in 3 consecutive working cycles let it cool for
15 minutes before starting a 4th working cycle.)
NOTE: Stirring to reposition brass once or twice
during cleaning cycles will ensure all pieces are
thoroughly cleaned.
10. Open the lid and raise the basket out of tank.
NOTE: Let basket sit on top of cleaner and let it drip
excess solution into the tank.
11. Rinse the brass cases in a clean tub of water or
in your sink. Distilled water will help your brass
dry without water-spots.
12. Dry your brass thoroughly before loading.
NOTE: A hair dryer, low-pressure air or dehydrator
can speed up the drying process.
13. When you have nished cleaning your brass,
unplug the unit and drain your unit of the cleaning
solution. Rinse the basket with water, wipe down
the tank with a clean damp cloth and dry the unit
and basket with a clean dry cloth before storing.
