“What May & May Not Be Cleaned in an Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner”
Typically, items such as gold, silver, platinum, diamonds, rubies,
sapphires, amethyst, citrine etc., are safe for ultrasonic cleaning.
Be careful not to clean stones that may have many inclusions
(example: emeralds), because the ultrasonic waves, heat or
sudden change in temperature may crack the stone. Be certain
not to clean soft, water porous stones (such as pearls, opals,
turquoise, amber, ivory etc.) as they too may be damaged. For
more specific information on which stones are suitable for
cleaning in an Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner, we suggest you contact
a professional jeweler, gemologist or The Gemological Institute of
America (GIA).
Do not submerge watches in an Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner, as
damage to the watch may occur. To clean metal watchbands, use
the included holder which is designed for this function. Place the
holder in the basket to prevent it from touching the bottom of
the tank. Watches should be placed on the holder with the head/
movement of the watch suspended above the water in the tank
to prevent potential damage due to a possible poor water seal or
gasket in the watch. Never place a non-waterproof watch in water
or in this device, and only place the metal band of the watch in
the water. At your own risk, before attempting this, always be
certain the watch’s stem is fully inserted and/or screwed all of
the way in.
Clean the tank and change the solution regularly, but ONLY
after first unplugging the Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner to avoid
potential electrocution.
