use any cleaning agents containing alcohol,
ammonia, benzene or abrasives as these may
harm the housing.

The lens of the CD player should never be
touched!

Sudden changes in the surrounding
temperature can cause condensation to form
and the lens of your CD player to cloud over.
Playing a CD is then not possible. Do not
attempt to clean the lens but leave the set in
a warm environment until the moisture
evaporates.

Always shut the CD door to keep the CD
compartment dust-free.To clean, dust the
compartment with a soft dry cloth.

To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from
the center towards the edge using a soft, lint-
free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents as they
may damage the disc.

Never write on a CD or attach any stickers
to it.

If a fault occurs, first check the points listed below before taking the set for repair.

If you are unable to remedy a problem by following these hints, consult your dealer or

service center.
