During the cleaning process small particles of dust collect in the bath or may have fallen from your clothes
so when the records are dry you might see some of these particles on top of the record surface.
Removing particles from the record surface with a carbon fibre brush is very easy due to the lack of static
electricity.
Some other US cleaners dry records quicker but this makes records statically charged again.
Remove the clamp by pressing the button and with fingers of one hand hold outer record edge, push down
label and rotate record. With second hand hold brush and remove particles. Use good light. Fig. 11.1.
Lift up record, flip it over and repeat cleaning of the second side. Then insert clean record into clean sleeves.
Remove all remaining records one at a time in the same way.
Finishing cleaning:
When not in use cover bath with a lid. If you are not planning to use it for more then 8 hours we suggest you
switch off the bath.
Increasing production:
If you would like to clean more records in one session you should purchase a spare spindle with spacers and
stand. Two extra sets will allow you to clean 30 records in 60-70 minutes. You need to purchase spare
stand with spindle: Fig. 1.1& 1.2. To speed up drying process use slow blowing fan.
Notes:
-After you clean a few records you will get used to the process and you will find it very easy to use.
-You may notice a fine black powder in the water. Due to the nature of the cleaning process this will not get
in the grooves. We suggest you clean 300-400 records before replacing liquid.
- If your records are very dirty then the liquid will collect dirt . We suggest you clean very dirty records first
with vacuum cleaning or clean very dirty records just before you are planning to replace water with new.
-You might observe that records will bend when submerged in warm liquid ( over 35 deg C) but they will
flatten after a few revolution in bath.
-* If you have time leave records rotating in bath after the ultrasonic wash for additional 15 minutes. In this
way the least particles will stay on top surface of the record.
For 45 EP( singles) cleaning:
ask for 45 adaptors to center records and fit them as on photo- but you might
need to erase liquid level in bath.
