When should I replace my rubber platter?
There is no specic time frame for how long a Rubber Platter will last, it could be one day or one year, depending on how the
machine is used and maintained. If the disc can no longer sit at on the Rubber Platter, or the imprinting on the surface is no longer
visible, then the Rubber Platter should be replaced. If there are any nicks, gouges, edges that are lifted, or tares – the Rubber Platter
should be replaced.

C2 CHIP
When should I replace my C2 Chip?
Each C2 Chip is programmed for a total of 500 minutes of operation. The amount of usage on this chip will be displayed on the front
LCD Screen. On the“Main Menu”, in the middle of the screen, this is where the total Chip count is displayed. This “Count”will decrease
the amount of minutes left on the C2 Chip as the Operator continues to use the machine. When the count drops to 10%, an asterisk
(*) will appear next to the Count display. This is to inform the Operator that supplies should be reordered. At this point, while a cycle is
running, the“Start” button will ash from Green to Blue. Then error message“Low Chip”will appear on the main menu. Once the chip
is depleted the machine will notify the Operator and no more cycles will be allowed, until a new C2 Chip is installed. Once a new C2
Chip is installed, all counts will be reset. The Operator does not need to perform a manual reset to the machine.

the surface.
D. How to clean the Rubber Platter and why:
From time to time the Rubber Platter may become dirty. When this
happens, dust particles can become entrapped in the top surface of
the platter. This causes the surface to become slick. When the Rubber
Platter is slick discs tend to slip on the surface. In worse case scenario,
this slipping could cause a disc to break.
Take any glass cleaner (such as Windex) and spray the Rubber1.
Platter.
Let the solution sit for about a minute.2.
Wipe the rubber platter dry with a paper towel.3.
If slippage continues, replace the Rubber Platter.4.

B. How much Compound Solution should I use?
VenMill suggests that the entire optical surface of the disc
be covered with the Compound Solution. This will ensure
optimal repair capabilities. To achieve this, place one dab
North, East, South, West and then spread around.
