ULTRASONIC JEWELLERY CLEANER
The Ultrasonic Jewellery Cleaner is an efficient, easy and safe way to clean and care for your jewellery at home. With general wear, the lustre of your jewellery tends to dull over time. The Ultrasonic Jewellery Cleaner is designed to remove topical debris such as dust, dirt, oil, grease and fingerprints. It works by producing high-frequency waves of up to 45000Hz, which creates micro bubbles that gently remove impurities on the surface and in the crevasses of your jewellery.
While the ultrasonic will clean your jewellery, it is not designed to remove tarnish or repair general signs of wear such as scratches.
- Insert the power plug into a socket and insert the AC adaptor into the Ultrasonic Jewellery Cleaner.
- Open the cover and carefully place the jewellery inside the chamber.
- Gently fill the chamber with lukewarm water (from a cup, not directly from the tap) up to the limit standard line (labelled MAX). *If deep cleaning is required, add a small amount of mild, unscented soap. Avoid any harsh chemicals such as dishwashing liquid, chlorine, bleach, or other household cleaners.
- Press the power switch to start. The Ultrasonic Jewellery Cleaner will begin and will automatically shut down after 3 minutes. *The indicator light will appear blue when it is cleaning and red when it is off.
- Once the cleaning cycle has finished, remove the jewellery and gently pat dry with a soft cloth or tissue. We recommend gently buffing each jewellery piece with a SARAH & SEBASTIAN polishing cloth to finish. Start with the treated inner polishing cloth to remove tarnish and discolouration, and finish with the outer cloth to polish and preserve the brilliance of your SARAH & SEBASTIAN fine jewellery.
- Make sure to drain the cleaning water after each use, and pat dry with a soft cloth before packing the Ultrasonic Jewellery Cleaner away. If detergent is used, ensure the chamber has been properly rinsed before drying, and no residue is left.
The Ultrasonic Jewellery Cleaner comes with a removable cover for the main chamber, an Australian Power Plug, an AC Adaptor that plugs into a DC12V round hole charging port and a detailed User Manual.
The Ultrasonic Jewellery Cleaner can simply be used with clean lukewarm or room-temperature water. Pour the water into the chamber using a cup and fill the it up to the limit standard line (labelled MAX).
If deep cleaning is required, add a pea-sized amount of mild, unscented soap. Avoid any harsh chemicals such as dishwashing liquid, washing detergent, chlorine, bleach, or other household cleaners.
SAFE
The Ultrasonic Jewellery Cleaner can be used to clean jewellery made from gold, silver, platinum, gold-plated, gold-filled or vermeil, including rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces and anklets. Jewellery with sapphire gemstones and natural or lab-grown diamonds are also suitable for use with the Ultrasonic Jewellery Cleaner.
NOT SAFE
Any jewellery with gemstones that rank 8 or below on the MOHs Hardness Scale should NOT be used with the Ultrasonic Jewellery Cleaner, as they are at a high risk of damage with this device. This includes topaz, pearls, opals, turquoise and emeralds.
Additionally, gemstones that have been coated with oil, wax or plastic, or those that have been heat-treated, are not compatible with this device.
Yes. Depending on the size and shape of your jewellery, you can add multiple pieces to the Ultrasonic chamber. Ensure the chamber is not overfilled and your jewellery is not stacked for optimal cleaning and to avoid tangling.
In the case of overheating, the indicator light will flash red. Switch the Ultrasonic Jewellery Cleaner off and unplug the power plug. Leave the device to cool down for 30 minutes before using it again.
