5. GUIDELINES
Always allow 5 minutes for fresh liquids to degas.
Degassing is the action of removing air bubbles from the
solution, which is achieved from turning the ultrasonics on.
It is not recommended to operate unit for longer
than 30 minutes.
Fluid temperature will increase under operating conditions.
The operator should always be aware that it only takes
a small amount of moisture contamination on the power
connections to cause electrical breakdown.
