5.1    C 306 Preampfilier Care and Cleaning 

 

The cabinet housing and front panel of the C 306 may be cleaned with a soft cloth and 
Windex® or a mild window cleaner. The frequency of cleaning will be governed by the 
operating environment cleanliness. Do not use benzene, harsh or abrasive chemicals to clean the 
front or rear panel as they may remove or damage the labels.
