ENGLISH
The Electa Amator III loudspeakers do not require any particular maintenance operations, except for
periodic general cleaning. In order to preserve the loudspeakers’ finish, cover them with the supplied
fabric dust-protection sheet, especially if the loudspeakers are not expected to be used for an extended
period of time.
Disposal of the electrical and electronic equipment. Directives WEEE 2012/19/EU - RoHS 2011/65/EU.
The crossed-out waste bin symbol shown on the equipment indicates that the product must be disposed
of separately from household waste at the end of its service life.
The user is responsible for bringing the equipment to an appropriate waste collection facility at the end
of its service life.
The separate disposal of the decommissioned equipment for recycling, treatment and disposal in
compliance with the current environmental protection regulations will help prevent potential negative
consequences for the environment and human health, and will allow for the recycling of the materials
and components of which the product is comprised.
For more detailed information regarding the collection systems available in your area, please contact
your local waste disposal service or the shop/dealer where you purchased the product.
Do not use products like waxes or detergents to clean the wood parts, as these could stain or damage
the wood or the loudspeakers themselves.
Use a soft cloth (e.g. microfibre, like that supplied), and moisten it slightly with the liquid supplied in the
cleaning kit, if necessary.
Wood is a natural living material that can be affected by the environmental conditions. We recommend
positioning the loudspeakers away from heat sources or windows, above all during the summer months.
Avoid exposing the loudspeakers to direct sunlight.
Use a soft brush to eliminate any dust that may have accumulated on the cabinet, the front panels, and
the loudspeakers themselves, taking care not to damage the loudspeakers’ delicate membranes.
To clean the marble parts of the base of the speaker and the base of the stand, it is recommended to use
a cloth dampened in water or common liquid neutral detergents with low alkaline content. Do not use
aggressive strong chemical products such as acetone, trichloroethylene, acids, abrasive agents, strong
de-greasers, alcohol, lemon or wine.
These measures will help you to keep your loudspeakers’ working perfectly for years to come. Time will
help improve the sound by breaking in the speakers’ moving parts (membranes and suspensions), and
the acoustic chamber will become accustomed to music being played the more it is used - much like what
happens with acoustic string instruments!
