General 

Maintenance 

 

To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, the user should clean the light 
fixtures frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the 
cleaning frequency. As a rule, the user should clean the fixtures at least twice a month. 
Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can 
lead to reduced light source life and increased mechanical wear. 

CHAUVET®  recommends cleaning the fixture’s external optics with a soft cloth using 
normal glass cleaning fluid. 

To clean a fixture, follow the recommendations below: 

 

Unplug the fixture from power.  

 

Wait until the fixture is cold. 

 

Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected 
on the external vents and reachable internal components.  

 

Clean all external optics and glass surfaces with a mild solution of glass cleaner or 
isopropyl alcohol, and a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.  

 

Apply the solution directly to the cloth or tissue and drag any dirt and grime to the 
outside of the lens.  

 

Gently polish the external glass surfaces until they are free of haze and lint. 

 

When cleaning units with a movable mirror, you should keep the contact with the 
mirror surface to a minimum to avoid scratching or damaging it. 

 

 

 

 

 

Always dry the external optics and glass surfaces carefully after cleaning them. 

 

 

 

 

 

If the fixture has one or more fans, refrain from spinning them using compressed 
air.
