The surface should be waterproof. Please make sure that the machine is positioned safely
and securely.
TIP: We recommend keeping a towel near the machine to mop up any fluid spillage.
Please check that the microfiber strips are not worn out or dirty before each cleaning session
as using worn or dirty strips could damage to a record.
Dust and dirt can be removed with a toothbrush and rinsing under water.
To change the microfiber strips, peel them off the vacuum arm and carefully clean the tube
with an alcohol based cleaning fluid. Remove the protective backing from the spare
microfiber strip to expose the glue and stick them alongside the suction slot of the vacuum
arm. Please take care not to obstruct the suction slot with the microfiber strips.

strips. The adhesive takes 24 hours to fully cure. If used too
soon the strips may not hold properly to the vacuum arm and
could damage your records.
IMPORTANT:
Always check the microfiber strips before use.
Heavily soiled or worn strips can damage your records.
Tip: Microfiber strip lifespan is dependant on use. If you are cleaning a lot of very dirty
records you should change the strips every 200 record sides.
Take the vacuum arm (Pic. 4) and insert it into the hole at
the front left hand side of the machine. Pay attention that
the two pins on the vacuum arm are aligned with the two
cut outs in the machine. Push the vacuum arm down until
it is fully inserted.
To remove the vacuum arm, pull it carefully upwards.
