5. Operation
5.1 Cleaning fluid reservoir filling
We recommend only using clearaudio Pure Groove cleaning fluid for perfect results and for the safety
of your records (available from:
www.analogshop.de
).
Attention:
Foaming fluid can damage the machine and void the warranty!
The cleaning fluid reservoir has a maximum capacity of 0.35 liter. Open the fluid reservoir by
removing the round cover. Using the supplied funnel carefully fill the reservoir.
There is no need to worry if you over-fill the tank; just wipe off the excess fluid with a cloth.
5.2 Record cleaning, vacuum drying, electrostatic discharging
For the very first record cleaning process we suggest you use a defective or very used
record in order to become familiar with the machine.
1. Rotate the upper arm counter-clockwise, to the left side.
2. Remove the record clamp by twisting the locking knob counter-clockwise (pic. 11, page 10). Place
the record over the spindle and replace the record clamp. Tighten it firmly so that the record cannot
slip while vacuuming.
3. Position the upper arm over the record by swinging it clockwise 90°.
The cleaning arms will be magnetically attracted together.
4. Press the button marked ‘LIQUID’. This will fill the rubber tubes with cleaning fluid. Wait until the
fluid comes out of the cleaning arms onto the upper and lower surface of the record. The microfiber
brushes should be wet before starting the platter rotation.
Important: Press the ‘LIQUID’ button for a maximum of one turn.
Do not press the button again!
4. To start the platter revolving press the ‘POWER’ button. By using the ‘PLATTER SPEED’ control you
can vary the speed of the platter and therefore the cleaning process of your record. The combination
of quantity of fluid dispensed and speed of revolution should be adjusted so that the fluid forms a
complete unbroken surface across the record.
5. Depending on the dirtiness of the record let the platter rotate 3 to 5 times in each direction.
Caution:
Please ensure that there is enough fluid on the record surface.
For a very intense clean, you can stop the platter during the cleaning process and wait 30
to 60 seconds for the fluid to fully absorb any contaminants.
