3. Set-up and operation

3.1

Place the

smart matrix professional

machine on a clean, dry and stable surface.

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 uid spillage.

Pleasecheckthatthemicrober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microberstrips,peelthemothevacuumarmandcarefullycleanthetubewith

analcoholbasedcleaninguid.Removetheprotectivebackingfromthesparemicrober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microberstrips.

The

smart matrix professional

should not be used for 24 hours

     afterchangingthemicrober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 microber strips before use. Heavily

soiled or worn strips can damage your records.

TIP: Microber strip lifespan is dependent 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. 5) 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.

TIP: For very dirty records, we recommend allowing the platter to turn more than twice

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

process.

Please note: Select anti-clockwise rotation of the platter for vacumming and thereafter

do not switch the rotation during the vacuuming process.

6. Press the ‘VACUUM’ button to start the vacuum process and wait until the record surface is

completely dry. Press the VACUUM button again to stop the vacuum process at which point

the vacuum arm will lift automatically. Please don’t lift up the vacuum arm before this other

Please note:

If you take the machine into operation again, the drain tube must always be closed by

the stopper, so that the vacuum pump can generate the required vacuum for suction.

Only through this we can guarantee a lasting and full function of your cleaning machine.

it out too far.
