OPERATION

1. Unpack the Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner, basket and bracelet/

watch holder from the box and plastic wrapping.

2. Connect to electrical power source. DO NOT turn the Ultrasonic

Jewelry Cleaner on unless you have first filled up the tank with
water.

3. To open the Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner transparent cover,

press the crescent shaped gray button that is located above the
LED digital display to automatically expose the tank and add
the appropriate amount of water. Fill the solution level to the
MAX fill line as clearly marked on the rear center portion of the
stainless steel tank wall. DO NOT allow the water to evaporate
below this level or fill the tank above this level, as damage may
occur and the warranty will become void.

For tougher stains, dirt and grease add a
SparklePak to the water (Item No. 200706,
sold separately at SharperImage.com).
You may also add a small amount of
dishwashing soap with a degreasing agent.

DO NOT use flammable liquids, ammonia or acid/water mixtures
in the ultrasonic tank as damage may occur and the warranty will
become void. Keep the evaporation-free cover closed when not in
use to reduce solution evaporation.

4. BEFORE CLEANING JEWELRY, READ THE SECTION “What May

& May Not Be Cleaned in an Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner”
(page 5). Place the item to be cleaned in the supplied basket
and then submerge it in the tank and close the cover. (As a

3

suggestion, in the event small items such as diamond ear
studs, charms or small pieces of jewelry require cleaning, a
household stainless steel tea strainer or fine mesh stainless
steel basket may be used to hold these items safely during
the cleaning process, with the tea strainer then being placed
in the supplied basket.) DO NOT place items to be cleaned
directly on the tank bottom, as damage to the transducer may
occur. Damage to the transducer as a result of placing items
on the bottom of the tank will void the warranty. Dents and
scars on the tank’s bottom are evidence of items being placed
inappropriately in the tank without a basket.

5. Press the POWER button to start the cleaning process. While

on, press the TIMER button to scroll through the five cleaning
cycle times of 90, 180, 280, 380 or 480 seconds. Once the
cleaning cycle has ended, the Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner will
automatically shut o. Items that require additional cleaning
may be left in the basket within the tank and the process
repeated. Once the cleaning process has been completed,
always rinse the item o with water to remove the remaining
solution (as it may irritate your skin) and to dislodge/remove
any remaining loosened dirt from its surface. DO NOT place
fingers or other body parts in the tank while the Ultrasonic
Jewelry Cleaner is operating.

IMPORTANT: READ THIS SECTION BEFORE CLEANING JEWELRY

“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.

With the Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner unplugged, take the basket
out of the tank and then grasp the ultrasonic with both hands
and with the cover open, carefully pour out the old solution
into your sink and drain. Wash all dirt and residue from the
tank’s bottom with clean water and a standard household
non-ammoniated, non-acidic cleaning solution or stainless steel
cleaner and a paper towel. Rinse the tank out with clean water
while being careful not to allow water to overflow onto other
parts of the machine as damage to its electronics may result
and the warranty will become void.

The Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner’s outer shell may also be
cleaned using a standard household non-ammoniated, non-acidic,
non-abrasive cleaning solution and a paper towel. After cleaning
the outer shell, wipe o the remaining solution with clean water.
Avoid placing too much cleaning solution on the outer shell as
the excess solution may seep into the ultrasonic’s electronics
potentially causing damage. DO NOT submerge the Ultrasonic
Jewelry Cleaner into water as damage to its electronics may
result and the warranty will become void.
