Krautkrämer USM 100

7.1 Maintenance

The USM 100 requires basically no maintenance.

ATTENTION

Any repair work may only be carried out by
members of authorized Waygate Technolo-
gies service staff.

7.2 Instrument care

Clean the instrument and its accessories using a moist
cloth. The following are exclusively recommended for
cleaning:

● Water,

● a mild household cleaner, or

● alcohol (no methyl alcohol).

ATTENTION

Do not use any methyl alcohol, and no sol-
vents or dye penetration cleaners! The plas-
tic parts may be damaged or become brittle
due to them.
