Cleaning and changing the microbre stripes
We recommend clean the microbre strips after approx. 30-40 cleaning programs, depending on the
condition of the records cleaned. First, remove the cleaning arm as previously described and remove
the tube which is connected to it.
Now you can rinse the microbre strips under running water. Before using the unit again, press
the microbre strips back on again. Microbre strip lifespan is dependent on use. We recommend
changing the microbre strips after approx. 100 cleaning procedures, though this will depend on the
condition of the records cleaned. If the microbre strips look worn out, it is recommended
that you change them.
To change the microbre strips, peel them o the
vacuum arm and carefully clean the tube with an
alcohol-based cleaning uid. Remove the protective
backing from the spare microbre strips 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 microbre strips.
The
smart matrix SILENT
should not be used for 24
hours after changing the microbre strips. The adhesive
takes 24 hours to fully dry. If used too soon the strips
may not hold properly to the vacuum arm and could
damage your records.
For cleaning: Remove the cleaning arm by removing the tube and pivoting it back as far as it will
go and pulling it upwards. Using the lling funnel supplied to ll 250ml of warm water through the
stainless steel tube. Leave the warm water in the waste tank for approximately 20 minutes, then
drain it by removing the sealing plug from the drain hose and putting the end of the drain hose into a
bowl (or similar). Repeat this process until the water drains clean and does not contain any residue.
Please use fresh water for every ushing process.
Please note:
When returning the machine to operation after maintenance, the drain tube must
always be closed using the stopper, so that the vacuum pump can generate the required
vacuum for suction. This is essential to ensure the full functionality and longevity of
your cleaning machine.
