INTRODUCTION
Ultrasonic cleaners function by producing sound waves that are transmitted into the tank and
cleaning solution. These waves create millions of microscopic bubbles, which collapse or ‘implode’,
releasing large amounts of energy, which scrub the surface clean. This process is called ‘Cavitation’.
These tiny bubbles create incredible cleaning results not only to the surface, but by penetrating
the ner detail and recesses in small and hard to get areas to restore them to their former glory.
UNPACKING AND IMPORTANT
Remove cleaner from its packaging and ensure it is correct for your local voltage supply. Never
operate without, or remove the safety ground (earth) from the A.C. power cord / mains lead.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1) Check the specication table for the correct operating requirements
(located on the rear of the unit).
2) Before connecting power, put the unit on a stable and at working surface.
Add water to tank, suicient to completely immerse the items being cleaned.
Using the stainless steel basket is highly recommended. Never operate the unit without
water in the cleaning tank. Always ll the unit above 2/3 marker line indicated on the inside
of the tank. Failing to do so, may cause damage to the unit.
3) Connect the power cable to the rear of the unit and ensure the wall supply is switched
ON. All the buttons are touch-sensitive, just lightly touch with your nger. Touch the
button on the front panel to turn on the machine. You are now ready to set the timer and
temperature.
4) Setting the Temperature- When the power is on, the LCD will display the actual
temperature of the solution within the tank. The temperature setting gure will ash once
the option is pressed to set temperature. It indicates that the temperature setting
function has been started. Then, press button to set the required temperature.
When the set temperature is higher than the actual temperature, the built-in heater will
initiate the heating function. The working status (OFF and ON) is visible through the LCD
display window. When the heater has reached the necessary temperature, the heating
function will stop automatically. When the set temperature is lower than the actual one,
heating will not start automatically. In this case, the uid will enter into the constant
temperature state. The heating function is not restricted by the ultrasonic cleaning timing
but can work for a long time (however, it is necessary to make sure there is enough
water inside the tank). To deactivate the heating function, input “00” in preset
temperature, then the Heater will be turned o.

5) Setting the timer– When power is on, the timing setting gure will ash once the
option button has been pressed. This indicates that a time setting is required. To set the
timer, press the button to set the required cleaning time (Minutes).
The ultrasonic’s cleaning function will instantly start once the button is pressed.
The LCD display window displays “U” which represents that the ultrasonic is working.
Cleaning will stop automatically when the cleaning time (seconds) and (minutes)
has counted down to “00” on both sides. The gure will resume the original setting
automatically. This is the “memory function”.
6) Memory Function and Pause Function (= Start/Pause). Every time the Green Button
is touched; the memory function will be activated to keep the “MIN” gure in the memory
(but not the “SEC”). When the timer stops automatically, the memorized “MIN” gure will
be remembered. It is convenient for frequent users who repeat with same cleaning time
cycle, as there is no need to reset again and again. The Green Button is also a PAUSE
function button allowing you to pause the unit whilst the ultrasonic timer is still running,
touch again to release the pause and continue the operation ( need to RESET
desired memorized setting gure again aer Pause function is used).
7) Use of degassing function: at the normal working state, the machine will start degassing
function once the button is pressed. Then, the LCD displays “D”. Degassing function
will stop once button is pressed again. Then, the LCD displays “U”.
8) Red Button- This is the power switch for the machine. When you have nished using
the machine, touch to make sure that all of the displays have turned o. Disconnect
the unit from the mains supply and remove the power cable.

7) Use of degassing function: at the normal working state, once the button is pressed,
the machine will start the degassing function and the degas button indicator lamp will
be on. Once button is pressed again, degassing function will stop and degassing
button indicator lamp will be o.
8) Use of sweep function: at the normal work status, the sweep function will start and the
sweep button indicator lamp will be on once the button is pressed. If the button is
pressed again, the machine will stop the sweep function and the sweep button indicator
lamp will turn o.
9) Use of pulse function: at the normal working status, once the button is pressed,
the machine power will be increased to 120% and the pulse button indicator lamp will be
on. If the button is pressed again, the pulse function will stop, the pulse button
indicator lamp will be o and the power will resume the normal value.
10) Use of power regulating function: the power is 40% when the power is on normally. The
power range changes from 40% to 70% and 100%, which can be chosen freely by pressing
the function button. Then, the set value will be displayed in the LCD display
module.

1) General Cleaning: Only use plain warm water, about 50°C.
2) Enhanced Cleaning: Add a few drops of standard washing up liquid, liquid soap, or
detergent into the water, other non-acidic based cleaning agents can be also used.
3) Extensive Cleaning: Removing Tarnish, Carbon and Rust from non-plated metals, it is
recommended that you use a specialist cleaning solution such as SeaClean2 that has
been developed to work in an ultrasonic cleaner.
