1. About the unit
How do ultrasonic cleaners work?
Ultrasonic cleaning is widely used in many industrial
applications, the jewellery industry and in the medical
sector. All hard materials can be cleaned using ultra-
sound. Even tough stains or dirt in difficult-toaccess
locations can be removed in an environmentally friendly
way.
An ultrasonic generator converts electric power into
mechanical vibrations. The generated sound waves are
in the ultrasound range, outside the range audible to
human ears.
Ultrasonic cleaning always takes place in a liquid
medium (for example, water with cleaning agent). The
vibrations have a periodic effect on the cleaning fluid,
thus transferring the energy.
This results in microscopic vacuum bubbles (cavitation
bubbles) in the liquid, which implode on the item to be
cleaned and thus create the cleaning effect.
All locations on the item immersed for cleaning that are
accessible by water are cleaned. For heavy or tough
stains, it may be necessary to carry out several cleanings.

Electrical safety
Important
•
Improper use can be dangerous!
•
Connect the unit only to the mains voltage listed on
the type plate.
•
Use an easily accessible mains connection so you can
disconnect the plug quickly in an emergency.
•
Do not touch the plug with wet hands – risk of electric
shock!
•
Lay the mains cable in such a way that no one can
trip over it.
•
Always disconnect the mains plug when the unit is not
in use or prior to filling or emptying the water, before
cleaning the unit, in case of malfunctions or if there
is smoke or odour. Pull the mains plug to disconnect
the unit – not the cable.
•
Before use, ensure that there is no visible damage to
the unit or accessories. When in doubt, do not use the
unit and contact your dealer or the customer service
address provided.
•
If the cord or the housing is damaged, contact cus-
tomer service or the dealer, since special tools are
needed to make repairs.
•
Disconnection from the mains supply is only guar-
anteed if the mains plug has been removed from the
socket.
