Maintenance
Cleaning
Check the tank for contamination whenever you change solution. If
necessary, remove contaminants with a nonabrasive cloth and water.
Emptying
Always unplug the unit before emptying the tank. Empty the solution
into a waste disposal unit.
Filling
Always unplug the line cord before filling the tank. Fill the tank to the
operating level (with beaker/tray in place), using warm tap water.
Low Solution
Level
Will cause the unit to fail. When you remove heavy or bulky loads from
the tank, 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 tray and/or beaker positioning cover to support all
items. Allow at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) between the tank bottom and the
beaker or receptacle for adequate cavitation.
Covers
Allow the unit to heat up faster, to a higher temperature, and avoid
excessive liquid evaporation. However, obstructing the cover vents will
cause the unit to overheat.
