Care, maintenance, and cleaning
When the SA-44 amp becomes dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry, soft cloth. If necessary, first wipe
the surface with a slightly dampened soft cloth with mild soapy water, then with a fresh cloth
dampened with clean water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, thinner,
alcohol, or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will damage
the finish of the metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide, waxes, polishing agents, or any aerosol
product near the SA-44.
