ULTRA 2000
ULTRASONIC CLEANER
14/06/059-V3
USER GUIDE

INTRODUCTION
Use tap water. Special solutions are not necessary in most cases.
Principles of ultrasonic cleaning:
Millions of tiny air bubbles are generated within liquid by high frequency vibration.The air bubbles
burst when in contact with object and dislodge the debris to achieve the cleaning effect.
• Using tap water is sufcient. Puried water or distilled water has the same cleaning effect as
regular tap water for ultrasonic cleaning.
• When cleaning silver or copper items where oxidation has darkened the items, special
solutions such as SeaClean2, needs to be added to the water to remove the oxidation.
Read the Manual First
The Ultra range of ultrasonic cleaners are very easy to use, although to get the best from your new
purchase, we recommend you read this User Guide before getting down to any serious cleaning.
It also contains important safety information as well as practical hints.
UNPACKING
Remove your Ultra 2000 cleaner from its packaging and ensure that along with this User Guide you
have the correct mains plug tted for your supply and you have the specied accessories.
Retain the packing carton for storage of your unit, and also in the unlikely event that the unit needs to
be returned for service or repair.

Any unrm or inlaid item may become loose. Items that are easy to be discoloured are
not recommended for ultrasonic cleaning. eg: textiles, leather products, woodware etc.
DO NOT put any objects that are porous (e.g. tortoiseshell or hawksbill spectacle frames)
or not waterproof (e.g. mobile phones) in the tank for cleaning as damage may occur.

BETTER RESULTS
5
Important tips for getting better results
• To start, ll the tank with warm tap water (ideally 45° to 50° C). Never boiling, but bearable to put
your hand into. You will always get better cleaning results with warm water and it will help the unit
to achieve maximum cleaning potential more quickly.
• Some items need added detergent for cleaning. We recommend 3 to 4 drops of regular washing up
liquid when cleaning objects such as spectacles and toiletry items.
• Do not overload or stack items. Remember whatever the water touches, it will clean.
• When cleaning spectacles, ensure that the lenses are free from any objects and are facing upwards.
As mentioned on the previous page, the coating on some spectacle lenses can exhibit hairline
cracking during ultrasonic cleaning. If in doubt, check with your optician or the manufacturer before
cleaning such items.
• Some spectacles are not suitable for ultrasonic cleaning because the frames are made from porous
materials. If you have any doubts, consult either the supplier of the spectacles or James Products
before placing them in the ultrasonic cleaner.

waterproof watches.
Cracks in ceramic, wooden items, or laminated glasses
will be enlarged by ultrasonic cleaning. (It won’t happened
if the item is in perfect condition).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6
To avoid causing permanent damage:
Never operate the unit without water in the cleaning tank. Never use boiling water.
Open the lid and ll the stainless steel tank with warm water (ideally 45°
- 50°C). Do not exceed the “MAX” marking on the inside of the tank.
Place the item to be cleaned into the water. Ensure any items
with a delicate surface such as glasses/sunglasses lenses are
not touching or rubbing the tank walls or base.
Ensure the item is immerged as fully as possible, ensuring the
water level does not exceed the “MAX” marking.
Close the lid and ensure your hands are dry. Plug the supplied mains
cable into the unit and then into the nearest mains outlet.
Press the ON button to start cleaning. The red operation indicator
will illuminate while the unit is in operation. The built in timer will
automatically turn the cleaner off after 3 minutes.
Note: During operation the unit will “buzz”, this is normal.
If required, you can press the OFF button at any time to stop or pause
the cleaning process. Press the ON button again to resume cleaning and
continue the countdown. When cleaning has nished, you can press the
ON button again to repeat the process.
When cleaning is nished, unplug the unit from the mains and open the
lid to remove the item. Pour away the water and wipe the stainless steel
tank with a clean dry cloth.

Emptying the tank
• Remember to change the water between cycles as it becomes dirty.
• Always ensure the unit is unplugged when changing the water.
• Always pour liquid away via the front spout.
DIFFERENT WAYS OF CLEANING
General cleaning
Use plain warm tap water (ideally 45° to 50°C) with a few drops of
washing up liquid. Ensure that the water level does not exceed the “MAX”
marking when immersing the item.
If the item is very dirty or has oil or grease smears (CDs, etc.) then add
3 to 4 drops of regular washing up liquid to enhance the cleaning result.
Enhanced cleaning
If the item is very dirty or has oil or grease smears then add a drop or two
of standard washing up liquid into the water to enhance the cleaning result
or you can achieve amazing results by using our SeaClean2 concentrate.
Extensive cleaning
If the item to be cleaned needs extensive cleaning or sterilising, then use the
“Enhanced Cleaning” procedure rst, then replace with clean water and add
a drop or two of liquid soap (eg: hand wash soap) into the tank and repeat
the cleaning procedure.
Cleaning large items
If the item is too large to t completely in the tank, then you can use the
ultrasonic cleaner with the item partly immersed with the lid open. Ensure
that the “MAX” marking is not exceeded when immersing the item.
Removing tarnish, carbon and rust
When removing tarnish, carbon & rust from your non-plated (e.g.: solid silver) metals, it is
recommended to use a specialist cleaning solution such as SeaClean2 concentrate (see page 9 for
details) when using your ultrasonic cleaner, as ultrasonic cleaning alone may not achieve the results.
If in any doubt about your items to be cleaned, before use, contact your jeweller or James Products
for information and advice on cleaning your items.
Important notes
• Care should be taken when using different types of cleaning soaps or detergents. Always ensure
they are suitable for the item you are cleaning. If in doubt, please ask James Products or check
www.jamesproducts.co.uk.
• The use of SOLVENTS or ALCOHOL in the tank or on any part of the cleaner will damage your
ultrasonic cleaner and void any warranty.

USING THE ACCESSORIES
8
Watch stand (optional accessory)
Only watches that are fully waterproofed to a depth of 30 metres
or more should be immersed in the ultrasonic cleaner tank.
If your watch is not suitable to be fully immersed, you can use a
watch stand to ensure that only the strap makes contact with the
uid.
Earrings and other jewellery items which should not be immersed
for ultrasonic cleaning can be held in place on the holder, allowing
only the metal parts to be immersed in the water.
As the watch stand / earring holder absorbs about 30% of
the ultrasonic energy, it is recommended to use the ‘Enhanced
Cleaning’ method mentioned earlier in this user guide.
To avoid causing permanent damage:
Never operate the unit without water in the cleaning tank. Never use boiling water.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
After use, ensure the unit is unplugged. Pour the water away and wipe the
stainless steel tank and housing with a clean dry cloth.

The unit should be stored in a cool dry place, away from any heat sources
(radiators etc.) and sources of moisture (bathrooms etc.).
Ideally, the unit should be stored in its original packing for maximum safety.
