11.0 MAINTENANCE:
10.1 Tube Replacement
When should I replace tubes? This is a hard one to answer as in this unit
your tubes should last depending on use for a long period of time. If you
hear unusual sounds, squeals, or have low audio output, or distorted
output, it is time to consider replacing the tubes. Your DARED Dealer
may assist. Replace tubes always with the same model number and
place them in the same location.
10.2 Regular Care
Keep the unit clean and free of dust.
Always turn of power and let the tubes cool before cleaning the tube area
and unit.
Vacuum tubes may be removed easily with a gentle jiggle while lifting the
tube upwards out of its socket. Use the same method when re-installing
the tubes. Only touch when cool.
When cool the vacuum tubes may be cleaned with a soft and slightly
dampened microfiber cloth.
The case may be cleaned with a slightly sampled microfiber cloth and
then polished using a separate dry soft microfiber cloth.
