Dear music lover,

In order to achieve maximum performance and reliability, please study these instructions carefully.

Warning of a hazard for the user, the unit or possible misuse

Important notice

During assembling and adjustment small parts could be lost if they are not carefully placed in a suitable

receptacle. Before starting assembly make yourself acquainted with the parts listed above which are

correspondingly numbered in the technical drawings. Separately packed items are marked with an asterisk *.

Safety instructions

AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Before connecting to the mains, make sure that the

voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the device.

Hold the plug when unplugging the power cord. Never handle the power cord while your hands are

wet or damp.

Never place any naked flame sources, like lighted candles, on or near the device. The product shall

not be used in damp or wet locations, next to a bathtub, sink, swimming pool or any other similar

conditions.

Keep plastic bags away from children to prevent any risk of suffocation.

Do not cover any ventilation holes (one is located on the left side and others are on bottom).

Setting up the unit

The unit is supplied assembled except of platter and vacuum arm which are packed separately. Remove all

parts from the transport packaging carefully. Please see the picture above that shows how to assemble the unit

(screwdriver is required).

Preparation of Wash it vinyl cleaning fluid

The cleaning concentrate should be diluted before application:

Mix 1 part of Wash it concentrate with 5 parts of distilled / demineralized water!

Caution! The vinyl cleaning concentrate is only suitable for vinyl records. 78rpm shellac records are

sensitve to some cleaning agents, please only use special Wash it 78 cleaning fluid!

Preparation of Wash it 78 shellac cleaning fluid

The cleaning concentrate should be diluted before application:

Please follow instructions delivered with Wash it 78

Using the unit

Make sure the unit is fully set up following the article above 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 back

side and turn the main switch to the position "I".

Place a record on the rear part of the clamp, put the top part of the clamp on it and screw it all together with

the ball knob by using a moderate force. Do not over-tighten. If the force is too low, the record will not turn

even if the motor runs.

Apply a few drops of cleaning fluid and spread it over the surface of a record using the supplied brush. The

fluid should be evenly spread out over the entire surface. Use only the necessary amount of fluid, just to

cover the record, not the machine!

The record label is protected by the clamp. The motor can turn both directions or can be stopped during the

application of the fluid, depending on your personal preferences. For better dissolving of impurities, wait a

few seconds before starting the vacuuming process. Place the vacuum arm above the record pointing at the

spindle until it reaches its lock position.Turn the motor rocker switch into position "I" for rotating clockwise or

to position “II” for counter-clockwise rotation and then turn on the vacuum rocker switch. Usually one

revolution of the record is needed for full fluid removal.

Switch off vacuum first and then the motor. Return the vacuum arm into its rest position and wait a few

seconds. Unscrew the ball knob, remove the clamp, turn the record over and repeat the steps for the

opposite side of the record.

The unit is protected by an automatic overheating protection, which switches the motor off in case of

excessive usage. After a cool-down period, the unit returns to full usability!

Maintenance and cleaning

Your record cleaning machine requires little or no regular maintenance.

On the left side of the unit below the air outlet hole is a water level gauge. The tank inside has big capacity

and it usually takes long time to fill the tank. Certain amount of cleaning fluid is also evaporized. In case of

the water level reaching the point marked " ←MAX" the tank should be discharged:

1. remove the plastic from the ventilation outlet hole (4)

2. place the spout into the hole (this drain insert is supplied in the accessory box)

3. lift the opposite side of the unit up end empty the unit reservoir

Regularly check the velvet strips on the arm. Make sure they are clean, no dirt or debris is present.

Always disconnect the record cleaning machine from the mains power supply as a precaution before

maintenance!

Fitting the lid (Cover it VC-S is an optional accessory)

The holes for lid hinges are pre-drilled on the back side of the unit. Each hinge is screwed with 2 screws

(supplied with the lid).

Fit the lid carefully over the hinge prongs and adjust the screws until the lid stays open where you want it to

without being too stiff to open or close.
