CD player and CD handling
• If the CD player cannot read CDs correctly, use a
cleaning CD to clean the lens before taking the set
to repair.
• The lens of the CD player should never be touched!
• Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature
can cause condensation on the lens of your CD
player. 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 close the CD door to avoid dust on the
lens.
• To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from the
centre 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.

rain, sand or excessive heat caused by heating
equipment or direct sunlight.

The apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
•
Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of 15
cm between the ventilation holes and surrounding
surfaces is necessary to prevent heat build-up.

The ventilation should not be impeded by cover-
ing the ventilation openings with items, such as
newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc..
