OTHER POINTS:

-Never run the machine for more than 35 minutes. After 35 minutes of continuous use, turn the machine
off for 10-15 minutes to allow the ceramic ultrasonic transducers in the unit to cool. Failure to-do so will
damage the unit and void warranty. NEVER RUN THE MACHINE WITH AN EMPTY TANK!

-The temperature status bar on the unit moves from left to right as the unit is
used, this as the ultrasonic bubbles that cavitate generate heat which in turns
warms the water in the tub. Green, then Green—Orange, then Green-Orange­Red will appear as temperature approaches 95 deg. F. (35 C.). This is normal.

-When you see a SMALLER RED LIGHT BAR APPEAR AND FLASH TO

THE RIGHT OF THE LONG RED BAR, the water in the tank has reached

95 deg. F. (35 C), Turn the unit off and let cool for 10-15 minutes.

TIPS:

-NEVER LEAVE A RECORD IN THE UNIT WHEN THE RECORD IS NOT SPINNING.

-CHANGE THE WATER OUT AFTER WASHING 15-20 RECORDS OR WHEN THE WATER IN THE
TANK BECOME MURKY, WHICH EVER COMES FIRST.

-NEVER LEAVE WATER IN THE TANK IF THE SYSTEM IS NOT IN USE. DISCARD USED WATER.

-DO NOT REUSE THE WATER AFTER A SESSION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

-BETWEEN APPLICATIONS OF SURFACTANT, RINSE THE GOAT HAIR BRUSH WITH DISTILLED
WATER. DRY THE BRUSH USING THE RABBIT CLOTH. THEN SHAKE DRY.

-AFTER THE LAST 5 MINUTE CYCLE USING THE SURFACTANT AND USING A SPRAY BOTTLE

SET TO MIST, APPLY A LIGHT MIST OF DISTILLED WATER TO THE RECORD AT 12, 4 AND 8
O'CLOCK POSITIONS, THEN USE THE MICRO FIBER OPTICIAN’S CLOTH, THEN THE PARASTAT­IC FELT BRUSH TO DRY AND POLISH THE RECORD. THEN FOLLOW THE MANUAL TO POLISH
THE RECORD BEFORE USE OR STORAGE.

YOU HEAR AND SEE THE RESULT.

THE SOUND CHOICE FOR YOUR RECORDS!
