1. Add tap water in the main tank to the MIN line.
2. Add instruments inside the removable cleaning chamber. Add proper solution to submerge
the items.
3. Place the removable cleaning chamber across the top of the tank. The bottom of the chamber
should be in contact with water for about 1/2" or 10 mm in depth. Ultrasound will penetrate
the removable chamber to clean the items inside.
MACHINE CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Do not run the unit for extended time or continuously. The unit is designed with overheat
protection. If the unit has been running for 30 minutes, it is recommended to stop the unit for
about 10 minutes to prolong the life of the unit.
• Do not keep water in the cleaning tank for a long time. After cleaning is completed, open the
drainage valve to drain the dirty water. Clean and wipe the tank dry.
• If condensation water forms on the lid, shake it off or wipe it before placing the lid on the lid
holder to avoid water dripping down from the lid.
• Do not spread disinfectant over the housing or the tank. Use clean water to wipe the housing.
Use a paper towel to dry up the tank and the housing. Use a disinfectant wipe that doesn't
damage aluminum and ABS plastic to wipe the tank and the housing if needed.
• Do not use corrosive solutions such as liquid bleaches in the stainless steel tank.
• Do not use corrosive solutions such as paint thinner or acetone as it will corrode plastic
housing. Do not use flammable solutions.
• Do not use osmosis water or highly purified water as they may corrode metals aggressively.
Avoid spilling water over the control panel or inside the housing.
• Keep the unit in a dry, cool and ventilated area.
• Do not expose the unit under direct sunshine for a long time.
• Keep the original packing material in case of sending it for repair service. If it is no longer
available, use enough cushioning equivalent to minimum 2" of Styrofoam all around the unit
inside the shipping carton to avoid damages to fragile transducers. Warranty does not cover
damages during return shipping from customers.
Foil Test
Ultrasonic cleaners should be tested periodically or as needed for cleaning performance and to
verify that the transducers are working properly. The test results should be documented.
Procedure:
Remove the lid, basket, containers, and anything else in the tank.
1. Clean the tank thoroughly.
2. Fill the tank with water to halfway between the MIN and the MAX lines.
3. Take 2 pieces of autoclave tape and run them from left to right over the top rim of the tank.
One tape goes over the centers of 2 round cycles on the bottom of the tank. One tape goes
over the third cycle on the bottom of the tank. The transducers that generate ultrasound are
mounted underneath each circle.
4. Obtain a piece of standard household aluminum foil and cut 3 pieces 2cm (3/4") wide and 13
cm (5") long. Fold each piece to L shape along the length. Do not use heavy duty foil.
5. Stick one foil above the center of each circle, sticking the end to the underside of the tape.
Keep the foils vertically into the water with the bottom edge approximately 2-3 cm (1") above
the bottom of the tank.
