MAINTENANCE
Stylus
Before playing a record, clean the stylus with a soft brush. Brush
the stylus from back to front. Never attempt to clean the stylus
with your finger tip. If a fluid stylus cleaner is used, make sure not
to moisten the stylus too much.
Cabinet
Clean the cabinet and dust cover periodically with a soft dry
cloth.
If
the
stains
are
difficult
to
remove,
use
a
cloth
moistened
with a mild detergent solution. Do not use solvents such as
alcohol, benzine or thinner, since they will damage the finish.
Rubber mat
When the rubber mat becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a soft cloth
slightly dampened with water.
Lubrication
The turntable requires no periodic lubrication. The motor shaft is
lubricated at the factory for the life of the turntable.
