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 finer 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.

SONIC D SERIES OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1) Check the specification table for the correct operating requirements
(located on the rear of the unit).
2) Before connecting power, put the unit on a stable and flat working surface.
Add water to tank, sufficient 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 fill 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
finger. 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 figure will
flash 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 fluid 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 off.
Set:
Primes unit for adjusting
cleaning time. This is then
altered using + / – keys
above.
+/– Keys:
Use for adjusting settings.
Power On/Off:

cleaning time. This is then
altered using + / – buttons
above.

5) Setting the timer– When power is on, the timing setting figure will flash 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 figure 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” figure in the memory (but not the “SEC”). When the timer stops
automatically, the memorized “MIN” figure 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 figure 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 finished
using the machine, touch to make sure that all of the displays have turned off.
Disconnect the unit from the mains supply and remove the power cable.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1) Check the specification table for the correct operating requirements
(located on the rear of the unit).
2) Before connecting power, put the unit on a stable and flat working surface.
Add water to tank, sufficient 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 fill the

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. Touch the button on the front panel to turn on the machine.
You are now ready to set the timer and temperature.
4) To freely set the required heating temperature. When the set temperature is
higher than the actual temperature, the built-in heater will initiate the heating
function immediately. The working status (OFF and ON) is visible through the LCD
display window. When the heater has reached the required temperature, the heater
will stop automatically. When the temperature is lower than the set one, heating will
also start automatically. In this case, the fluid will be maintained at the current
set temperature.
5) Setting the timer. When the power is on, rotate the timing knob to set the cleaning
duration. Adjustments will be visible on the LCD display. At this time, the ultrasonic
cleaning function will start promptly once the button is pressed.
6) Start/stop button ( ) Pressing this will start the unit, press again to
pause/stop cleaning, this is useful to stop the unit mid cycle and inspect cleaning
progress.
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 off.
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 off.
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 off 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.
