13.0 MAINTENANCE:
13.1 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 unusu-
al 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.
13.2 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 pol-
ished using a separate dry soft microfiber cloth.
If you continue to experience difficulty and cannot solve your
