in each direction and then repeating with a second or even third cleaning and vacuum

for vacuuming.

to the side. Remove the record clamp.
Flip over the record and repeat the cleaning process by following points 1-5 for the other side.
To discharge any static that is generated during the drying process, we recommend using an
antistatic brush (Art. No. AC014, available at www.analogshop.de) before playing the record on
your turntable.

Cleaning and draining the waste fluid tank
Please empty the waste fluid tank after 30 – 40 cleaning procedures.
The waste fluid tank has a capacity of approx. 0.5 litres. We recommend regular emptying of the
tank, to avoid any damage.
Please note that with intensive use, waste fluid can evaporate nearly completely leaving a residue
within the waste tank which may clump over time and possibly clog the discharge opening.
For prevention we recommend occasional cleaning.
Before you start cleaning, you should first empty the waste fluid tank.
Please make sure that you have switched off the vacuum motor while emptying the
waste fluid tank otherwise damage to the machine could occur.
