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 fluid spillage.

Please check that the microfiber 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 microfiber strips, peel them off the vacuum arm and carefully clean the tube

with an alcohol based cleaning fluid. Remove the protective backing from the spare

microfiber 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 microfiber strips.

The

Smart Matrix Professional

should not be used for 24 hours after changing the microfiber

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 microfiber strips before use.

Heavily soiled or worn strips can damage your records.

Tip: Microfiber strip lifespan is dependant 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. 4) 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.

For simple and effective record cleaning please follow these steps:

1. Connect the

Smart Matrix Professional

machine to the mains supply and switch the

main switch on the rear panel on.

2. Take off the vacuum arm from the arm base. Unscrew and remove the record clamp.

Place the Record on the platter and hand-tighten the record clamp onto the spindle.

Replace the vacuum arm into the arm base.

3. Start the machine on by using the front panel button marked ‘POWER’.

4. Take the bottle with the cleaning fluid (in the accessory bag) and cut off the marked

top of the dispenser. Gently hold the clearaudio

Pure Groove

cleaning brush (Art.

No. AC015) against the LP surface and dispense a small amount of fluid the fluid onto

the Record.

Please note:

The fluid should just cover the whole record playing surface evenly. Too much fluid will spill

onto the

Smart Matrix Professional

or onto the record label.

5. Gently hold the cleaning brush against the record while the platter makes

approximately two complete turns in each direction (clockwise and anti-clockwise),

using the button marked ‘PLATTER’ to change the direction of rotation.

Please note:

If too much fluid is applied, immediately mop up excess fluid with a towel or

similar material to prevent any damage to the record label or to the machine!

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 otherwise a line of fluid may be left on the record.

7. Switch the machine off using the POWER button.

8. Remove the record clamp. Flip over the record and repeat the cleaning process for

the other side.

9. Please empty the fluid tank after 30 – 40 cleaning procedures.

To empty the tank: first remove the stopper

from the fluid release tube (on the rear panel

of the

Smart Matrix Professional

Place the tube in an appropriate vessel to

capture the fluid as it is flows out. Be sure to

securely replace the stopper in the fluid

release tube.

IMPORTANT

Please remember that the fluid release tube must be securely sealed with the

stopper when using the machine.

If not malfunction may occur or even damage the machine!
