SERVICE
Maintenance:
Your turntable is maintenance-free. Changes in acoustical behaviour are so minute, that the
human ear will probably change more than the turntable actually does. Only the needle should
be checked from time to time and eventually be replaced.
Production control / Disposal / Recycling
Clean your turntable only with a soft, dry and smooth cloth,
with a dust brush. Do not use
scouring powder, alcohol, benzene, French polish, or other agents. Do not expose your turntable
to a relatively high humidity. Temperature variations, humidity and excessive sunlight may
damage the turntable and result in optical changes.
In the case of malfunction of your turntable apply to an expert. Your special dealer will be
pleased to help you. If a turntable should be destroyed through improper use by a second
person the repair requires special know-how in order to provide accurate performance of your
device. Many of today’s modern furniture are coated with multiple varnishes and plastics which
may be treated with chemical agents. Some of these agents might contain substances which
cauterize or soften the rubber feet. Therefore, we would like to advise you to place an anti slip
mat underneath the turntable.
Production Control
Every production step is controlled individually. Each part of the turntable (e.g. tonearm or motor)
is tested several times, from the purchase until the final assembly. In the final control, every
turntable is tested acoustically, i.e. skilled ears check the acoustic quality of each frequency
range. To be able to observe the tolerance limits, variations e.g. the values of the electric com-
ponents must be severely restricted, since inaccuracies of single components may add up in the
total system. To achieve maximum production quality, compliance with ELAC quality criteria and
guidelines can be regarded as the most important duty.
Turntable Disposal
Please keep the cardboard box and packaging. Since the box and packaging represent the ideal
container for the appliance, you should keep them for future transports.
Material-Specific Disposal
If you want to discard the packaging, please do not put it in the household waste, since here
it will be mixed up with other residual materials. Please, do not give the material to collecting
points for paper or other materials, but take it to the dealers. The packaging represents an
important recoverable material. It consists of fabric, plastic (bag and packing parts) as well as
cardboard, which should be returned to the material resources cycle for recycling. We have
an agreement with your special dealer to take back and dispose of the material in a way that
guarantees material-specific disposal. Thus, please, take the packaging back to your dealer for
disposal.
Recycling
Support the environmentally-friendly disposal of electronic industry waste.
Old electronic and electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the same manner as regular
household waste!
Environmentally-friendly recycling must take place according to each country’s regulations.
