Precautions
Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and
rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For
heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out
dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry
immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough
material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
