Bransonic 12 Ultrasonic Cleaner

The Bransonic 12 is an ultrasonic cleaner with a 1.2-liter capacity.

Use

Make sure your part will not be touching the bottom of the tank. This will shorten the tank's lifespan. If necessary, suspend your part from the top of the tank with wire.

Use a water-based cleaner. Diluted Simple Green usually works.

• DO NOT use flammable cleaners (such as alcohol or acetone); they will be aerosolized into a flammable mist!
• DO NOT use mineral acids or chlorine solutions (such as bleach); they will chemically dissolve the tank!

Make sure the cleaner is in a safe and level spot, plug it in, and turn it on. The power switch is on the left side, bottom-front corner.

DO NOT put your hand into the tank while the ultrasonic cleaner is running; this can cause skin irritation.

If possible, let the ultrasonic cleaner run with the lid on. This lowers sound levels enough to be safe for continuous exposure. If this is not possible, then make sure that either it is isolated from people, or that you and other nearby people have hearing protection. Remember, most of the sound ultrasonic (around 40 kHz), so you can't it!

Check your part every 5-15 minutes. If your part isn't clean after an hour, consider a different cleaning solution, or a different method for cleaning your part.

Due to reflections of the sound waves, not all surfaces of your part may be cleaned equally well. You can rotate the part periodically to increase coverage.

If you wish to pour out the cleaning solution, make sure the unit is unplugged.
