We recommend that your typewriter be adjusted, serviced, and lubricated by a quali-
fied service technician at least once a year. If you need help, contact your local dealer
for checking your machine.

*NOTE: For best performances, try to use only standard supplies from your

dealer. The use of non-standard supplies including Ribbons, Correction

Tapes and Print Wheels, may cause poor performance or damage to

your typewriter.

- Please, store your typewriter in a location protected from extreme temperatures and
humidity.
- Be sure to unplug the typewriter before cleaning and lifting it.
- If you’d like to clean your typewriter, use a mild soap to remove stains. Never use
detergents, volatile liquids, treated cloths, harsh cleaning agents or sprays.
- Never attempt to disassemble your typewriter by yourself. Repairs should only be
made by an authorized service technician.
