The record cleaner is suitable for 115 Volts or 230 Volts AC. For safety reasons it is advisable to
always plug the machine into an earthed wall socket. Do not operate the machine in damp conditi-
ons. It is easy to use and has built-in safety devices to avoid damage to the machine from misuse.
Unpacking
After opening the cardboard box and removing the four protective corners, take out the supplied
accessories – 2 padded bags and an IEC UK mains lead, after which you should lift the machine
with both hands, out of the box.
On no account, try to lift the machine by the turntable!
Keep all the packaging for any subsequent shipping.
Accessories
Accessories supplied with the machine: standard LP suction arm, cleaning brush, cleaning fluid,
record clamp and an earthed IEC mains cable. NB. The small bottle of cleaning fluid is a concentrate
and requires mixing with a liter of purified water – not battery or steam iron top-up, not tap water
but purified water which is available from most chemists. When mixed, the fluid should be kept in a
cool, dark place. The small bottle which contained the concentrate can be used to apply the fluid to
the record.
Installation
Place the record cleaner on a clear, clean dry surface. Make sure that the cleaner is in a stable posi-
tion on a sturdy table or stand. Position the cleaner in such a way as to ensure that it is situated at
a comfortable working height. You will have to keep in mind that there may be the possibility of
a leakage of fluid onto the table or other base. It might help to place a towel or similar absorbent
material under the cleaner, in order to protect the surface underneath. Please provide ample venti-
lation around the machine at all times.
Warning
!
Aluminum suction arm

note, two corresponding cut-outs in the top of the aperture.
