The manufacturer gives clear instructions depending on the size of the bottle and the fluid version supplied. My unit included the new MK3 fluid in a 4 oz bottle, which requires just one capful over of fluid over the brushes. Your Spin-Clean basin water needs to be changed. Spin-Clean Record Washer Fluid contains a special encapsulating formula that causes the dirt from your record to sink to the bottom of the Spin-Clean basin and away from your record grooves. This allows you to clean up to about 50 records in a single cleaning session. Occasionally however — and depending upon how dirty your records are and how many records you’re cleaning in a single session, you may want to discard the basin’s dirty water sooner than this guideline, so as to replenish your Spin-Clean bath with a fresher combination of water and Spin-Clean Record Washer Fluid. Bottom line, if your bath water looks extremely dirty, it’s probably time to change it.

Insert the rollers into one of the three set positions depending on the size of record you want to clean. The outer position is perfect for standard 12-inch LP’s, while the additional inner slots will hold 10-inch records and 7-inch singles respectively.

But if the wash cycles won't stop and instead continue after every spin, then it's probably down to the timer or control board. Most problems with detergent drawers can be fixed by giving them a good clean, and manufacturers recommend you do this regularly anyway. If your detergent drawer is actually broken, replacements can be bought from the manufacturer. Spin Clean's fluid is also alcohol-free, which makes it perfect for use with older Shellac records - as well as modern vinyl. The use of certain microfiber cloths. Through recent extensive lab testing, Spin-Clean has determined that the use of other drying cloths, especially that of many different microfiber towels currently on the market, often results in the collection and re-depositing of lint and other unwanted particles and materials, including static, onto your records. In addition, depending upon the towel, the grade of microfiber, and your drying efforts, the friction applied when drying with microfiber towels can be abrasive to your vinyl. Therefore, Spin-Clean only recommends the use of our Spin-Clean Drying Cloths for the best results and the safest drying process.
