Noise from volume controller of a Electrocompaniet ECI5-MKII

Hi guys,I have a 3 year old Electrocompaniet ECI5-MKII integrated amplifier. I experience noise when turning up/down the volume. The volume controller is engine controlled.
Does anybody here have experience with cleaning the volume controller for such an amplifier? Per recommendation, I have bought cleaning fluid from CAIG DeOxit.
Thanks for helping
Cheers, Johnny

Johnny.... the unit comes with blue Alps pot, use the CRAIG attached the straw to the nasal, spray gently on top of the pot ( make sure to have the unit facing upward)  turn the volume control back and forth so that the pot turns freely.   Use a cloth to damp any access.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi there!

I believe I have the same issue with an ECI-3 I recently got second hand. Could you please help me a little bit more?

1. Does it make any difference which CAIG DEOXIT you use (or any other similar product)? For example I found two products available CAIG DEOXIT D5S-6P and CAIG DEOXIT F5 FADERLUBE. 

2. I am not very familiar with the terminology. Is the any possibility to post a photo/video of what needs to be sprayed? :D

Thanks anyway!
