Handling and operation
This section provides you with important information on handling and using the
appliance.
How ultrasonic cleaning works
The ultrasonic field created in the cleaning fluid during operation generates rapidly
alternately waves with high and low pressure. These waves produce air bubbles
on the surface of the item being cleaned which quickly burst open again. This
process works mechanically on the surfaces of the item and thus loosens dirt and
other residues. It can, however, also deepen already existing scratches.
Filling the appliance with cleaning fluid
♦ Open the lid 6.
♦ Fill the stainless steel bath
The parts to be cleaned must be covered with the cleaning fluid.
Do not exceed the maximum fill level MAX 8 even after placing the item in
the fluid.
NOTE
► Cold, clean tap water is generally best suited as cleaning fluid. The cleaning
effect can be enhanced by the addition of approximately 3 drops of washing-
up liquid. Do not use caustic cleaners, ammonia, bleach or heavily
perfumed detergents.
► The cleaning performance is dependent on the amount of water: the more
water, the lower the cleaning performance.
♦ Place the objects to be cleaned in the ultrasonic cleaner. The item to be
cleaned only needs to be covered in water. Use the
