IMPORTANT NOTES
291a
In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2–3, please read and observe the
following:
Placement
354a
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it
near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an
enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to
temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or
discolor the unit.
355
• To avoid possible breakdown, do not use the unit in
a wet area, such as an area exposed to rain or other
moisture.
356
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to
remain on the piano for long periods of time. Such
objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect
the finish.
357
• Do not put anything that contains water (e.g.,
flower vases) on the piano. Also, avoid the use of
insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray
cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any
liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.
Maintenance
401a
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry
cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with
water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth
impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly
with a soft, dry cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration
and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
553
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the
unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when
using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can
lead to malfunctions.
558d
• This instrument is designed to minimize the
extraneous sounds produced when it’s played.
However, since sound vibrations can be transmitted
through floors and walls to a greater degree than
expected, take care not to allow these sounds to
become a nuisance to neighbors, especially when
performing at night and when using headphones.
