9 Operating Your Cleaner
Optimizing Your Cleaner
Tanks
Cleaning - check the tank for contamination whenever you change
solution. If necessary, remove contaminants with a nonabrasive cloth
and water.
Emptying - always unplug the cleaner before emptying the tank.
Dispose of the contents in an environmentally responsible way.
Filling - always unplug the line cord before filling the tank. Fill the
cleaner to the operating level (one inch from the top with beaker/tray in
place), using warm tap water.
Low solution level - will cause the cleaner to fail. When you remove
heavy or bulky loads from the cleaner, the solution level may drop below
the operating level. If so, be sure to replace lost solution and degas, if
necessary, depending on the amount used.
Overload - do not rest any items on the tank bottom. Weight on the tank
bottom dampens sound energy and will cause damage to the transducer.
Instead, use a basket or other method to support all items. Allow at least
one inch between the tank bottom and the parts or receptacle for
adequate cavitation.
Covers - allow the cleaner to heat up faster, to a higher temperature,
and avoid excessive liquid evaporation. However, leaving the cover on
with heat and ultrasonics can cause the solution to boil, diminishing
effectiveness.
Temperature
Heater - the heater may cause some discoloration of the tank wall. This
is normal and will not affect the performance of the unit.
Solution - the fastest method to get your cleaner to the best operating
temperature is to fill it with warm solution, turn on both the heat and
ultrasonics, and use a cover.
