    Hi Ken! 

    1) In your instructive article Maintenance Do's and Don'ts and Other
    Notes for your Ultrasonic Cleaner" you say: "An ultrasonic should be
    wiped down with a water-moistened cloth each day to remove the soap
    that has been splashed and dripped". Do you mean to wipe down the
    outside of the machine or the inside (the tank)? Since you say:
    "Most soaps are caustic and if left on the unit will start to eat
    away the metal parts", it sounds like we really ought to  empty and
    clean out the tank every day so it won't get eaten away over time,
    but I imagine none of us are used to doing that....Is that what you
    are advising us to do? Suppose we are using just a small amount of
    dishwashing liquid? 

    2) A second question: If you use a 110V 60 cycle ultrasonic in a
    220V 50 cycle country, does that affect the efficiency? 

Thanks for your guidance!
Janet in Jerusalem
