5.2 Cleaning Outside Cabinet

The cabinet and hood shield should be cleaned occasionally with a moist cloth. Do not use
any chemicals or cleaning abrasives.

5.3 Service Panel

For ease of service we have designed the

PICO-155S

to have a side access panel with the

main electrical components on an easy to pull out rail system.
