Any other use is considered not in accordance with regulations and is prohibited. It is especially prohibited to clean water-sensitive objects with the device, for instance, mobile phones or watches that are not waterproof. Defect If the device is defective: If the power cord of this device is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its customer service or a similarly qualified person to avoid any hazards. Never operate a defective device or a device with a defective cord. There is a significant risk of injury. Unpacking Unpack the device and all accessories and check if the contents are complete. Setup Place the device on a level and plane surface. Cleaning Mode of functioning The USR 5516 cleans objects with ultrasound, that is, with sound waves not audible to the human ear. The functional principle is simple: Small bubbles develop on the objects to be cleaned due to the ultrasonic waves. They immediately collapse again. The suction effect of the bubbles thus created gently loosens the dirt. The USR 5516 enables you to clean surfaces and areas difficult to access in an easy and gentle manner. Use The device is excellently suited for cleaning waterproof objects made of metal, glass or plastic including: Glasses Coins Waterproof watches Jewellery Cutlery Dental prostheses/dental braces CDs/DVDs/Blu-ray discs Cleaning objects To use the device, you must fill the water tank with water. The device does not have a cleaning effect if the tank contains too little or no water. CAUTION: Always transport/ship the device in its original packaging to protect it against damage. Keep the packing for this purpose. Dispose of packing material no longer needed in compliance with the regulations applicable to your country. NOTE: Immediately contact your dealer if you notice transport damages.

Explosion risk: Never pour flammable liquids into the water tank. CAUTION: Never use the device without water. It might become damaged. Fill the water tank with cold water only. Never use flammable liquids. CAUTION: Be particularly careful when cleaning valuable objects. First perform a trial with only one object. Remember that the mounting lugs of jewels in jewellery may become loose through the ultrasound. CAUTION: When cleaning glasses, pay attention that the lenses do not touch the tank bottom. They could become scratched. Clatronic-GB.book Seite 12 Donnerstag, 14. August 2008 10:23 1013 Cleaning

CAUTION: The cleaning process can cause water to enter the watch and damage it. Only clean waterproof watches certified for a depth of at least 30 meters. Watches often loose their watertightness with age. You may therefore want to have your watch checked by a watchmaker for its watertightness. NOTE: The use of the watch holder reduces the cleaning output by approx. 30%. CAUTION: Make sure the spacer ring is between the CDs if you want to clean two CDs/DVDs. The CDs/DVDs may become damaged when they lie on top of each other. Clatronic-GB.book Seite 13 Donnerstag, 14.
