Do we have to open it up to clean the ultrasonic unit? There is no way to reach inside this unit, so I guess we don't have to clean inside..?

I had one for 2 years - never had to clean inside. I do use a liquid that is specially for humidifiers that keeps the white stuff down - add a little to water when I refill the tank. when you are ready to store - drain all the water out. I do put a little vaseline on the rubber ring to keep it from drying out.

Take the tank out and you will see 2 wing nuts on the top turn them and the back part will lift off then you can clean it with vinager and water. Easy!!!

Yes, I have the same problem. Could not use it till it's empty. Works well for cleaning though.

I didn't look in there till now and yes I see that too. I have used it more than 5 times so far. I will look up the directions for cleaning it

Sorry Nancy. I haven't gotten to the stage where I need to clean it. Let me know if you find a way.

You need to clean the plate and the bottom of the unit after each use. If you don't you risk of a grease fire.

I think it's probably part of the unit and suggest you not remove it. We have had a horrible time with the excessive moisture that accumulates even after a minute of use. We have to wipe the entire insides down after every use or leave the door open to dry it out. Have you had any of these problems?

The tub in the machine needs liquid to transfer the ultrasonic waves but you can place a container within it and still get some of the ultrasonic cleaning. I polish brass with it.

Actually, the unit is easily cleaned. I can insert three fingers into it with no problem. I use a dish cloth or a bottle washer to clean mine. I hope this helps.

Hello Deena, There are two small screws that hold the unit together. These can be removed and the internal works are completely accessible for cleaning with a small hand held vac or a brush. So far, it hasn't been an issue, having gathered no lint so far. Given that these are standard in rooms in Puerto Vallarta, I have to think lint is probably not much of an issue.

You don't really have to clean it. But if you want to you can mix a little soap and warm water and pour it through the unit. If you use it for other liquids besides water just make sure you flush it out with water really good. :)

Does anybody have the instructions on how to clean this unit? I lost the box with the instructions in it... Thanks in advance

You can't open it up and it does collect a lot of dust inside over time. I've found the easiest way to clean it is to use one of those canned air dusters and blast the dust loose through the back. Then turn the fan on high and clouds of dust will come out. Tip- do this outside or in your garage or all your furniture in the room will be covered in dust afterward.

I've had the same problem, I don't know how that stuff gets in there. I just open it up and clean it every now and then.

You can clean the container that holds the water. I usually clean it in the sink with dawn detergent and thoroughly rinse it out. The machine comes with a disc that helps to clean the insides. The rest of the machine can be wiped off with a damp cloth. I also find that I have to clean the sensor (the part that reads the UPC code on the discs) occasionally. Hope this helps.

No it's built into the unit. Opening the unit would compromise the water and dust protection.

There is really no way to get in and completely clean the inside pouch. The manufacturer says they are not reuse able.

No you cannot open this toy to clean it. Each side has little rubber "teeth" that open up to a cavity and which you place the food. You could clean the cavity with one of those brushes made for cleaning glasses with small openings though.
