GENERAL SAFETY

• DO NOT run the cleaner continuously for more than one hour at a time, as doing so can damage the internal components.
• DO NOT operate the unit without fl uid in the tank. Always ensure the fl uid is no higher than 2/3rd full. Always ensure there is a minimum depth of 7cm.
• DO NOT drop any item into the tank as this may cause damage to the transducer.
• Always place the items gently into the tank and use the basket whenever possible.
• The more items that you place in your cleaning bath the less effi ciently it will clean. It is not advised to overlap items. Always allow plenty of clear space between the items.
• Keep the lid on during use. This will prevent splashes and reduce evaporation of the fl uid.
• Never immerse the machine or power cord in water or other liquid.
• DO NOT touch the power plug with wet hands, especially when inserting or removing the plug.
• DO NOT touch the unit if the machine has fallen into water during operation. Remove the power plug from the socket fi rst.
• DO NOT disassemble the machine, except by professionals.
• UNPLUG the power source while fi lling or emptying the tank.
• DO NOT spray water or liquid over the device and the control panel.
• DO NOT operate the cleaner without proper grounding.
• DO NOT place the device on a soft surface, where the vents could be blocked.
• Upon completion of the cleaning cycle, turn the heater off and isolate the machine from the electrical supply.
• Take care when adding or removing items from the cleaning tank as the fl uid is likely to be hot and displaced fl uid can damage the internal components. Any displaced fl uid must be dried up immediately.
• This device is not intended to use by individuals with restricted physical sensory or metal capacities or those with lack of experience or knowledge, including children, unless they are supervised by an individual who is responsible for their safety or have received training in operating the device.
