My mom got me a "CD-2800 Ultrasonic Cleaner" for Christmas. You know, like they use in the jewelry stores to clean your rings while you browse. Well, it works fairly well (you have to run it for at least two cycles and add a little soap to make it really work, but hey, no biggie). But, the really great part is the instruction manual. Here are the best excerpts.

"Close supervision is necesary when this product is used by, on or near children or invalids." So, remember, if you are going to clean your children or invalids, you must supervise them closely.

Also, "Never use while sleeping" So, if you are a sleepwalker, make sure this is out of reach before you go to bed.This is great. There are many uses for this machine. Including FINGERS!, "signature chops" (what IS that?!), and "slots and lines of dishware handles" (again, I have no idea what that means and the picture isn't really helping).

Finally, some more CAUTIONs. "Do not dissect the unit except the authorized serviceman." Nuts. Mine didn't come with the serviceman. Guess there's nothing for me to dissect. Unless he answers my call for help....

And, "Repeat working cycle can enhance the cleaning effect. While the interval is better longer than 5 minutes." Hmmm. Yeah. I'll take that into consideration.
