Routine cleaning

When cleaning the case is necessary, use a soft lint-free cotton cloth (such as a pre-washed cotton diaper)

with mild soap and water. Two drops of soap per quart of water is adequate. Alcohol and cleaners with alcohol (or
any other strong solvent) are not recommended.

If the front lens becomes dusty, use a vacuum cleaner that has a soft brush on an extension wand.
