an excessive source of heat from a heater or direct sunlight.
No not open the apparatus. A gap of at least 15 cm must be kept
between the ventilation openings and the surrounding surfaces in
order to ensure sufficient ventilation and avoid all accumulation of
heat.

not require grease or lubrication.

containing alcohol, ammonia, benzene or abrasives, which may
damage the cabinet.
CLEANING CDs

have absolutely no effect on the sound quality.
Never use chemical products such as sprays for conventional (vinyl) records, anti-static aerosols,
benzene or thinners to clean your CDs.
To reduce the risk of scratches, always store CDs in their case when not used.
Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high humidity or excessively high temperatures for long periods
of time.
Never write or affix labels to the CD's surfaces.
CLEANING THE LENS
If the lens is dirty, the sound may skip and the CD may not be read correctly. Open the CD door and clean
the lens as follows:
Unplug the power cord.
Dust or dry particles:
Blow on the lens several times using a camera lens brush, then wipe it gently with the brush to remove
the dust. Then blow again on the lens.
Fingerprints:
If you are unable to clean the lens with the camera lens brush, use a dry cotton swab to clean the
surface, from the center to the outside.
