Automatic / Superclean / Eco mode

The “Auto” button has a multifunction for dierent automatic cleaning modes.

• Eco mode

Hold the button for 3 seconds, the LED ring of the “Auto” button will blink fast.

This mode is the most economical in terms of cleaning time and cleaning uid consumption.

• Automatic mode

Pr ess the button once, the LED ring of the button will shine constantly.

This mode is a normal cleaning mode.

• Super- Clean mode

Pr ess the button twice, the LED ring will blink slowly.

This mode is for very dirty records and will run the “Automatic mode” twice.

If the respective cleaning program (Auto mode / Super-Clean / ECO mode) is nished, the blue ring

of the button will ash short and expire completely.

5.3 Automatic and manual cleaning

• Antistatic brush

The antistatic brush arm is used to discharge any static that is

generated during the drying process. After completion of the

automatic programs or manual cleaning, the dry record should

pass the antistatic brush at least for 2-3 full rotations. Turn the

antistatic arm above the record to the outer point. The record will

start to turn and the constructed static will derived.

The antistatic function can only be activated with opened suction

arm.

After 2-3 full rotations, turn the antistatic arm back to the start position. The rotation of the record

ends automatically.

5.4 LED level indicator

Shows the level of cleaning uid currently in the reservoir (0% to 100%).

6. Initial start-up

Filling the cleaning uid reservoir

Place the funnel supplied into the lling hole (Pic. 2, No. 11, page 7) and ll the uid reservoir with

the Pure Groove essence cleaning uid provided (max. 0.4l).

Pay attention to the LED level indicator so as not to over-ll. For eective cleaning we recommend

using only Clearaudio Pure Groove cleaning uid (available at www.analogshop.de).

For the proper use of the provided cleaning uid just mix the Pure Groove essence uid with Ethanol

denat. (90%) / Isopropyl alcohol (90%), according to the following mixing ratio.

The result is the famous Pure Groove uid.

Note:

During transport or shaking of the Pure Groove essence it can generate some foam.

The foam disappears after adding Ethanol/ Isopropyl alcohol and you can use the Pure Groove as

usual.

Mixing ratio:

250ml = 150 millilitre Pure Groove essence and you add 100 millilitre Ethanol denat. (90%) /

Isopropyl alcohol (90%).

Automatic cleaning

The new features of the

double matrix professional SONIC

“Auto”, “Superclean” and “ECO mode”

provide fully automatic and ecient cleaning (see function 5.1, page 8). You only have to manually

activate the antistatic brush.

Manual cleaning

longer applies more uid. Adjust this according to the desired quantity of cleaning uid.

• 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 ne tune the cleaning process.

• Once you are happy wit h the cleaning, press the “ Vacuum” butt on. This will stop t he sonic

cleaning function and start the vacuum drying process. After about 3 or 4 rotations, when the

record is visibly dry, switch o the suction by pressing the “Vacuum” button again.

• Pr ess t he “ Pow er ” but t on t o st op t he r ecor d r ot at ion.

antistatic function the manual cleaning is complete and you can remove your record.
