When the record is done, the tonearm will lift automatically, and the motor will shut off. For maintenance, keep the turntable clean by using a soft, dry cloth.

Also, make sure to handle the headshell and cartridge with care as they are delicate parts. Keep the power supply within the specified range of 100 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz to avoid any electrical issues.
