6. Initial start-up
Filling the cleaning fluid reservoir
Place the funnel supplied into the filling hole (Fig. 2, No. 11, page 7) and fill the fluid reservoir with the
Pure Groove cleaning fluid provided (max. 0.4 l). Pay attention to the LED level indicator so as not to
over-fill. For effective cleaning we recommend using only Clearaudio Pure Groove cleaning fluid
(available at www.analogshop.de).
Opening the cleaning and vacuum arm and placing the record
Lift the upper cleaning arm and swing it to the left to open the cleaning and vacuum assembly.
Turn the knob of the Seal record clamp anticlockwise to release the clamp then place the record to be
cleaned on the label-sized platter. Now put the Seal record clamp back on the spindle and press down
gently while rotating the knob clockwise to secure the record in position and create a seal to protect
the record label from fluid damage.
Closing the cleaning and vacuum unit
Now you can swing the upper cleaning arm to the right to close the cleaning and vacuum assembly.
Automatic cleaning
The new features of the
Double Matrix Professional Sonic “Auto” and “Superclean” provide fully
automatic and efficient cleaning (see function 5.1, page 8). You only have to manually activate the
antistatic brush.
Manual cleaning
To set your own parameters for the cleaning process manually:
- After you have placed and fixed the record with the Seal record clamp, close the cleaning and
vacuum assembly.
- Press the “Power” button to start the sonic cleaning function and rotation of the record.
- Press the “Liquid” button to apply cleaning fluid to the record. Holding down the button for
longer applies more fluid. Adjust this according to the desired quantity of cleaning fluid.
- After about 3 or 4 rotations, change the platter direction by pressing the “Platter” button. We
recommend 3 or 4 turns in each direction. By turning the “Platter Speed” knob you can vary the
rotational speed to further fine tune the cleaning process.
- Once you are happy with the cleaning, press the “Vacuum” button. This will stop the sonic
cleaning function and start the vacuum drying process. After about 3 or 4 rotations, when the
record is visibly dry, switch off the suction by pressing the “Vacuum” button again. While the
record is still rotating, swing the antistatic arm towards the middle to discharge any
electrostatic charge. After at least 2 or 3 turns swing the antistatic arm back to its rest
position.
- Press the “Power” button to stop the record rotation and end the manual cleaning process.
