care and maintenance

There is a fuse in the power socket on the back of your 100x5R.
To change the fuse, unplug the power cable and carefully pull out
the fuse carrier drawer

(1)

.

The fuse carrier contains a spare fuse; this is the first one that you
see when you open the carrier.

There are no other user-serviceable parts inside the 100x5R.

In order to maintain the appearance of your 100x5R, you can
clean it as follows:

before cleaning always disconnect your 100x5R from the 
AC supply;

any grease or dirt on the case may be removed with a soft, lint
free cloth moistened slightly with a mild solution of warm water
and detergent or washing up liquid. Do not use any other
solutions. Do not use any solvents or abrasives;

take great care not to get any liquid inside the case. If this
happens, you should have your 100x5R serviced.

You cannot open the fuse drawer while the plug is in the socket
