MAINTENANCE

The KARIK and NUMERIK are designed for long life. To reinforce our 
commitment to customer satisfaction and extended product life, we have
included in the design of the KARIK a 

DIAGNOSTIC OUTPUT CONNECTOR

for ease of maintenance. We recommend that you contact your dealer 
approximately two years after purchase, to arrange for a free diagnostic check
on your KARIK.

CLEANING

Dust or finger marks can be removed using a soft, slightly damp

cloth. Avoid the use of domestic cleaning fluids.

WARNING

Disconnect the mains supply first.

FUSE

If the fuse in the mains inlet connector should blow, replace it with the

correct type only. To replace the fuse, first switch off and disconnect the
mains lead. Open the fuse drawer on the mains inlet connector by grasping
either side of the drawer front and pulling outwards. The drawer has two 
compartments, the inner one contains the active fuse and the outer one 
contains a spare fuse. Remove the blown fuse by poking it out from the under
side of the drawer using a small screwdriver or the end of a pen. Insert the
spare fuse into the inner compartment and close the drawer.

If the new fuse blows then there may be a fault and the complete unit should
be returned to your Linn dealer.
