Use & Safety Notes

• Do not place items directly on the tank bottom—always use a basket or rack.
• For most jewelry soils, 95% of cleaning occurs in ~30 seconds; avoid prolonged runs on delicate items.
• Generally safe for gold, silver, platinum, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, amethyst, citrine.
• Do not ultrasonically clean emeralds, opals, turquoise, pearls, amber, ivory, other porous/soft or heavily included stones.
• Ultrasonics do not remove tarnish.
• Do not submerge watch heads; clean metal bands with a holder suspended above the water line.

Pro Tips

• Operate with the tank at least 3/4 full; warm, pre-mixed non-ammoniated, non-flammable solution performs best.
• Degas: run the unit a few minutes before cleaning for maximum cavitation.
• Decant settled solution each morning to reuse the clean upper layer; screen the dregs for valuables and dispose responsibly.
