MAINTENANCE
PRECAUTIONS & GENERAL MAINTENANCE
• Place the set on a hard, flat surface so that the system does not tilt.
• Do not expose the set, CDs, batteries or cassettes to humidity, rain,
sand or excessive heat caused by heating equipment or direct
sunlight.
• Always shut the CD door to keep the CD compartment dust-free. To
clean, dust the compartment with a soft dry cloth.
• Do not cover the set. Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of
15 cms between the ventilation holes and surrounding surfaces is
necessary to prevent heat build-up.
• The mechanical parts of the set contain self-lubricating bearings
and must not be oiled or lubricated.
• To clean the set, use a soft, slightly dampened chamois leather. Do
not use any cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammonia, benzene
or abrasives as these may harm the housing.
CD PLAYER AND CD HANDLING
• The lens of the CD player should never be touched.
• Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature can cause
condensation to form and the lens of your CD player to cloud over.

but leave the set in a warm environment until the moisture
evaporates.

• To take a CD out of its box, press the centre spindle while lifting the
CD. Always pick up the CD by the edge and replace the CD back in
its box after use to avoid scratching and dust.

edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents as they
may damage the disc.
