Unplug the unit from the mains supply
before cleaning.
The case should normally only require a
wipe with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth.
Do not use paint thinners or other
chemical solvents for cleaning.
We do not advise the use of furniture
cleaning sprays or polishes as they can
cause indelible white marks if the unit
