SAFETY
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
‰ WARNING! It is the user’s responsibility to check the following:
Check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure that they are safe
before using. Inspect power supply leads, plugs and all electrical connections
for wear and damage. Sealey recommend that an RCD (Residual Current Device) is
used with all electrical products. You may obtain an RCD by contacting your
local Sealey Stockist.
If the product is used in the course of business duties, it must be maintained
in a safe condition and routinely PAT (Portable Appliance Test) tested.
Electrical safety information, it is important that the following information
is read and understood.
1.1.1. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is
safe before connecting it to the power supply.
1.1.2. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage
and check all connections to ensure that they are secure.
1.1.3. Important: Ensure that the voltage rating on the appliance suits
the power supply to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse
– see fuse rating in these instructions.
DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
**DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Ensure that any
faulty item is repaired or is replaced immediately by a qualified electrician.
1.1.4.** This product is fitted with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug.
If the cable or plug is damaged during use, switch the electricity supply and
remove from use.
Ensure that repairs are carried out by a qualified electrician.
Replace a damaged plug with a BS1363/A 13 Amp 3 pin plug. If in doubt contact
a qualified electrician.
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
Ensure that the cable outer sheath extends inside the cable restraint and that
the restraint is tight.
Sealey recommend that repairs are carried out by a qualified electrician.
1.2. 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 fluid in the tank. Always ensure the
fluid 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 efficiently
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 fluid.
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 first.
DO NOT disassemble the machine, except by professionals.
UNPLUG the power source while filling 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 knob off and
isolate the machine from the electrical supply.
Take care when adding or removing items from the cleaning tank as the
fluid is likely to be hot and displaced fluid can damage the internal
components. Any displaced fluid 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, include children, unless they are supervised by an individual who
is responsible for their safety or have received training in operating the
device.
**** Keep it away from children!

An ultrasonic cleaner that achieves great results on delicate items such as watch parts, PCB boards and electrical components, as well as mechanical items such as carburettors, spark plugs and injectors. The Degas function purifies the liquid in the tank to speed up the cleaning process. Using ultrasonic wave vibration, the intense cleaning action of the microscopic bubbles can penetrate the most inaccessible parts to remove dirt and grime. Achieve a pristine condition without any damage or wear to item. Made from durable stainless steel and fitted with a drain tap (SCT9, SCT27 only) for easy emptying and mesh basket to keep smaller components together.

demanding cleaning we recommend a small amount of washing up liquid, this will
help increase the cleaning performance. The cleaner is now ready for use.
DO NOT exceed the filling line. Be aware of the displacement volume of
the objects being treated to avoid overspill.
