time. Use only a dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid
the use of detergents and do not let any liquids
seep into the unit.
10.
Use only the right fuses with the same current
rating and trigger characteristic as replace-
ments. Never mend fuses! Pull the mains plug
before replacing a fuse. Should a fuse blow
again after a short while, the device needs to be
checked.
11.
Never install your amp close to devices with
strong electromagnetic fields such as large
mains transformers, revolving machines, neon
illumination etc. Do not lay signal cables parallel
to power current cables.
