Maintenance

4-7

Keyboard and Remote Control

Clean the keyboard and the remote control with a mild detergent 
and a soft cloth.

Do not use solvents acetone, benzine, gasoline, etc. 
They can damage plastic components and affect 
correct operation of the components. Clean any 
surface spills immediately to protect the keyboard and 
remote control.

CRT Screen

Clean the screen with a glass cleaner and a soft cloth.

Do not use solvents like acetone, benzine, gasoline, 
etc. Do not use abrasive which can scratch or mark the 
screen.
