Cleaning DECK
Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of a vacuum
cleaner to remove dust from the ventilation holes on
the back sides and bottom of the cabinet. Plastic
surfaces are easily scratched and can be marred
by alcohol and various solvents. Avoid excessive
use of oil-based furniture polishes since the
materials used in the cabinet will accumulate more
dust. We recommend using a non-abrasive,
antistatic cleaner and polisher.
