OttoTechSonic Ultrasonic Cleaner 1/2 Gallon 110V - Money Saving Kit

An ultrasonic bath lifts grease, grime and polishing compound out of settings, chain links and shop parts that a brush cannot reach, and this kit arrives with the racking and solution needed to run the first load. The OttoTech OttoTechSonic 1/2 gallon cleaner adds digital control of time, temperature, power and frequency, so you can tailor the bath from gentle to aggressive.

Features

• Digital controls for time, temperature, power and frequency
• Adjustable output for delicate items or maximum cleaning strength
• Heater and timer for repeatable results
• 1.8 liter tank running 50 W at 40 kHz on 110 V
• Baskets, ring rack and a quart of solution included, so the unit is ready to clean on arrival

Notes

Suitable for most jewelry metals (gold, silver, platinum) and hard gemstones such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires, amethyst and citrine. Note that ultrasonics do not remove tarnish.

Do not ultrasonically clean:

• Soft or porous stones: emerald, opal, turquoise, pearls, amber, ivory
• Stones with many inclusions or fractures, and heat or shock sensitive materials
• Complete watches submerged in the tank. Immerse bracelets only using a holder, keeping the watch head above the solution

Operating and care guidelines:

• Most cleaning occurs in the first 30 seconds, so avoid continuous unattended operation
• Use a basket: never place items directly on the tank bottom, which risks transducer damage and voids the warranty
• Maintain solution level between 3/4 and 7/8 full, topping off as needed
• Use a non-ammoniated, non-flammable ultrasonic solution, and pre-mix concentrates with water before filling the tank
• Warm baths clean better, and running the unit a few minutes will degass new solution before cleaning

Solution savings tip: At the start of each day, decant the clear top layer of settled solution for reuse, strain the bottom layer for debris (checking for valuables), dispose of waste responsibly, return the saved solution to the tank, and top off with fresh pre-mixed solution.
