as the PR-4Z internal components temperature may rise and shorten the life
of the components. Avoid damp and dusty places .

6. Care – From time to time you should wipe off the front and side panels and

the cabinet with a soft cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or
other chemical solvents or cloths since this may damage the finish or remove
