the use of Isopropyl alcohol for cleaning. Isopropyl alcohol will not
damage the components of the devices. The sooner the remains of
any spilled liquid is cleaned, is the less risk there is of damage.
Cleaning
Only non-corrosive cleaners such as Isopropyl alcohol should be used
for cleaning. Isopropyl alcohol is he best choice for all parts, includ-
ing the plastic knobs and caps and the pushbutton knobs, all electric
components and the top plates. Cleaners that are more aggressive
can cause problems because they might corrode mechanical or elec-
trical components.
Do not use any kind of thinner
– you will have to
replace all plastic parts that were exposed to the thinner.
If you use Isopropyl alcohol MAKE SURE THAT
THE ALCOHOL IS EVAPORATED BEFORE YOU
RECONNECT THE POWER to avoid the RISK OF
FIRE, DAMAGE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Lifespan
Though no regular maintenance is necessary, you can reduce wear and
tear and extend the lifespan by following some simple rules: Avoid
smoking, dust, dirt, and moisture and use all controls on a regular
basis. The electro mechanical components, like switches, pots, fad-
ers, relays, etc., are more or less sensitive to dust, moisture, smoke,
and dirt. When used regularly, the self-cleaning properties of these
components work well and keep the component free from soil. Ac-
tually, there are many controls in a complex audio system that are
not used for weeks or even months. The best you can do to extend
the lifespan and keep your gear working without problems is easy
to accomplish:
Turn every pot about 5 times from all to the left to all to the right
and back to the left. Use all switches and press each pushbutton
about 5 to 10 times.
Repeat this procedure every 3 month.
With this little effort you will avoid noisy pots and switches and most
of the problems that may come up after 10 to 15 years of use.
