hand or by holding it by its edge with both hands.

Cleaning
Fingerprints and dust on a record can cause noise and the sound
to skip, as well as damage the record itself and the stylus. Use a
commercially-available record cleaner to clean records. Do not use
thinner or anything other than a record cleaner. Such chemicals
could harm the surface of the record.
When using a record cleaner, wipe the surface of the record in a cir-
cular motion, following the grooves.
Precautions for use
Do not leave records in places that are exposed to direct sunlight or
are very hot or very humid. Leaving a record in such a condition for a
long time could result in warping, mold growth or other damage.
Do not stack multiple records or place heavy objects on top of them.
Do not leave records at an angle for long amounts of time, either.
Doing so could result in warping or other damage.
Do not allow hard objects to directly touch the audio grooves. Doing
so could cause scratches.
After you finish playing a record, always put it back into its sleeve
for storage. Leaving a record unprotected could result in warping or
scratching.
Do not use cracked records.
Handling records Maintenance
Use a soft dry cloth to wipe the surfaces of the units clean.
For stubborn smudges, use a damp cloth that has been thoroughly
wrung out to remove excess moisture.
o
Never spray liquid directly on these units.
o
Do not wipe with chemical cleaning cloths, thinner or other
chemical agents. Doing so could damage the surfaces of the units.
o
Avoid allowing rubber or plastic materials to touch the units for
long periods of time because they could damage the cabinets.
V
For your safety, disconnect the power cord from
the outlet before cleaning.
