  CARE AND CLEANING 

 

Caution! 

 

ALWAYS 

switch the amplifier off  and disconnect it from the 

mains supply before attempting to clean it.  

 

 

NEVER

 apply cleaning products directly to the amplifier as they 

may enter the unit and cause damage. 

 

 

NEVER

 use any of the following cleaning products as they may 

damage the finish: 

 

Wax polish 

 

Spirit or alcohol based cleaners 

 

Corrosive or abrasive cleaners 

 

In most cases wiping the unit with a slightly damp  soft  cloth will give satisfactory 
results.  Non-abrasive glass cleaners containing ammonia or vinegar, applied with a 
soft cloth may also be used.  If you have concerns about the suitably of a cleaner, 
first it out on a part of the unit that is less visible such as the rear panel. 

 
 

  MAINS FUSES 

 

Two fuses are located  on the  unit’s rear panel  – one for each  side of the mains 
supply.    If you suspect that either of the fuses has blown, follow the procedure 
below: 

 

 

Disconnect the amplifier from the mains supply. 

 

 

Remove the fuses. 

 

 

Check the fuses with a continuity tester and replace any blown fuses 

with one of the rating and type shown below.  Using  a fuse of  the 
incorrect type or  rating may create a safety hazard or  cause damage to 
the unit and  may also result in the warranty being voided.

Suitable replacements may be obtained from your  VIOLA dealer or 
directly from  VIOLA.  

 

 

After replacing the fuse or fuses, switch the amplifier on and  check 

whether it operates normally.  If the fuses blow again, switch  the unit 
off immediately, disconnect it from the mains supply and get in touch 
with your VIOLA dealer, national  VIOLA distributor  or  VIOLA directly for 
technical support.  Contact details for  VIOLA are given in the
