• Follow all security advice printed on your mixer

• When removing the unit's AC plug from the power source, grasp and pull the
plug, NEVER the cord itself!

• Avoid placing your mixer near heat sources, such as power amplifiers.

• When in use, place your mixer on a stable surface, away from vibration. Always
use care when carrying your mixer. Impact, or heavy vibration may compromise
the unit's mechanical integrity. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage
resulting from an impact, or misuse.

• When in use, place your mixer away from sources of hum or noise, such as
transformers, or electric motors.

• To prevent overheating, always provide your mixer with adequate ventilation
air space.

• Avoid stepping on your mixer's AC cord. Repeated compression of the cord
may lead to electrical shorting.

• To avoid damage due to AC voltage peaks, always disconnect your mixer from
the power source during electrical storms.

The ESM-11 crossfader may need lubrication from time to time. This will extend
the fader life and eliminate any potential damage due to extended heavy usage.

Cleaning Instructions

1. Remove the crossfader by unscrewing the 2 outer screws (removing the 2
inner screws will detach the fader from the fader plate) and disconnecting the
cable from the mixer.

2. Spray a small amount of cleaner or lubricant into both ends of the fader and
slide the fader back and forth a few times to spread the fluid evenly throughout
the fader.

3. Shake and wipe off excess fluid before re-assembling the fader.
