CARE

CLEANING

The surface of the case can be cleaned with a dry, soft,
lint-free cloth. Never use cleaning agents,particularly
aggressive solvents. Apart from occasional cleaning of
the case, no other care is necessary. The rubber feet on
the base are not resistant to all cleaning agents. The
rubber feet do not normally leave any marks on the
surface. However, on account of the multitude of
varnishes and surface finishes used, surface marks
caused by the feet of the unit cannot be ruled out.
