Care & Maintenance

To remove dust from the cabinet of your amplifier, use a feather duster or a lint-
free soft cloth. To remove dirt and fingerprints, we recommend isopropyl alcohol
and a soft cloth. Dampen the cloth with alcohol first and then lightly clean the
surface of the amplifier with the cloth. Do not use excessive amounts of alcohol
that might drip off the cloth and into the amplifier.

      

Caution!

At no time should liquid cleaners be applied directly to the
amplifier, as direct application of liquids may result in
damage to electronic components within the unit.
