Ultrasonic Cleaner

The ultrasonic cleaner is on perma-loan from the user garlicbread / Richard

  • Please do not damage the equipment.
  • Please do not leave the machine in a dirty / messy state

Things to avoid:

Important

  • Do not use acetone or chorosive chemicals in the cleaner.
    It's best to only use water in the main container mixed with concentrate.
    chemicals such as acetone could cause the drain to melt.

  • Do not run the cleaner for more than 5mins at a time.
    It's best to run it for a 5min burst, let it rest for a few mins then repeat if needed.
    The timer should default to 5mins anyway.

  • Do not turn on the heater without water.
    If the heater is on with no water in this can cause damage to the machine
