During operation this unit will generate loud noises, so we recommend the use of hearing protectors
during longer cleaning sessions. Check the unit after transportation for signs of damage, if a damage
is found, do not operate the unit and contact your dealer!
The unit is capable of long time running however in such case platter spindle may get hot and whole
platter/clamp area as well as air coming out from the unit may get warm. The temperature of the
platter can´t damage vinyl records. In order to keep the temperature as low as possible do not
expose the unit to direct sunlight.
Motor should not be turned on when not cleaning your records. Extended running time outside of the
guideline process can cause over-heating.
Setting up the unit
The unit is supplied assembled with the exception of the platter and vacuum arm which are packed separately.
Remove all parts from the transport packaging carefully. Please see the diagram above for assembly instructions.
Place the motor shaft bushing (8) on the motor shaft (2), Fasten the platter (12) to the motor shaft with the hexagon
screw (3) in the bottom part of the platter – the height of the platter is determined by the bushing (8) sitting directly
on the motor shaft under the platter.
This product is only for non-commercial use.
Using the unit
Please ensure that all assembly and set up steps have been followed as outlined in this manual. All 3 rocker
switches ("main switch", "motor" and "vacuum" should be in position "0"). Connect the power cord to the
socket on the rear side of the VC-S3 and turn the main switch to the "I" position.
Place a record on the platter and put the magnetic clamp on top it.
While the record is turning apply just enough of ready-to-use cleaning fluid (3ml per side) to the record while
holding the brush horizontally and gently pressing against the record, spread the fluid across the surface of
the record. Use only the necessary amount of fluid, enough to cover the record, not the machine!
