Dear Hafler Owner,

The gloss black insert on the face-plate of your new Hafler
equipment has been packaged with a removable protec-
tive coating. Please peel off this protective coating follow-
ing installation.

When cleaning the face plate, we advise a soft cotton cloth
with a non-abrasive cleaner that is safe for Lexan and

painted surfaces. DO NOT use paper towels or any coarse
material to clean the face-plate as these materials may

scratch the insert.

We are sure you will enjoy your new Hafler product both
sonically and cosmetically for years to come.

The Hafler Team!
