If the amp is set up but does not function, check the following items:

•    Is the power cord properly plugged into an electrical outlet?
•    Is there power at the outlet?
•    Is the fuse blown?
•    Is the speaker properly connected to the amplifier?
•    Are all the control knobs turned above two?
•    Is the volume control on the instrument turned up?
•    Is the instrument properly plugged into the amplifier?

(Eliminate any effects pedals and try using another cord.)

If after checking all of the above your amplifier is still not performing correctly, 
consult your authorized Fender Service Center.

TROUBLESHOOTER'S CHECKLIST

The Hot Rod Deluxe tube compliment consists of
three Fender Special Design 12AX7A tubes (part
#099-5091) and two Fender Special Design
5881/6L6 WGC tubes (part #099-5090).  For 
continued optimum performance from your amplifier,
these tubes should only be replaced with tubes of
the same type and specification.  Tube location is
printed on the tube label located inside the cabinet.  

TUBE REPLACEMENT

TOLEX COVERING CARE

Your Hot Rod Deluxe is covered in genuine Tolex
for long life and lasting good looks.  To clean the
Tolex covering, use a sponge and a light soapy
water solution.  Avoid spilling  liquids on the operating
surfaces, grill, volume and tone controls, switches
and speakers.  ALWAYS unplug your amplifier
before cleaning or approaching it with fluids.
