CLEANING OF THE REFLECTING PARABOLAS
Cleaning must be carried out using a soft cloth in cotton or absorbent cotton with ethyl alcohol.
Water-alcohol based disinfectants are suitable with 70% isopropyl alcohol or ethanol.
Caution - potential damage or wear on the parabolas
Never spray detergent directly on the parabolas.
Cleaning operations on the parabolas must be carried out wearing gloves, to avoid leaving fingerprints on the surfaces.
