CARE OF THE ORGAN 

 

Your Allen Digital Organ constitutes a major advance in long-term maintenance-free 
operation.  There are no regular maintenance procedures required and, therefore, no 
periodic maintenance schedules to be observed. 

 

Reasonable care will keep the instrument looking beautiful for years to come.  The wood 
surfaces may be cleaned using a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water.  A mild 
solution of lukewarm water and furniture soap may be used to remove fingerprints, etc.  
Polish dry with a soft cloth. 

 

Do not use wax, sprays or oils on the finish.  Satin finished surfaces will take on a semi-
gloss appearance when waxed and will eventually become yellowed. If you need to 
“polish” the organ for a special event, use only a very high quality wood furniture polish.  

 

Keys and stops should be cleaned using two clean cloths.  Immerse one in clear, 
lukewarm water and wring it thoroughly damp dry.  Loosen the dirt with this cloth, then 
polish with the dry cloth.  Do not use soap or detergent on the keys or stops.   

 

To polish the clear music rack, a furniture wax polish can be sprayed on a dry cloth and 
rubbed on the front of the music rack.  Try to keep the wax off of the wood finishes.  This 
will keep the music rack most clear. 

 

Your Allen Organ not only faithfully reproduces the organ traditions of the past but also 
anticipates the innovations of the future.  Should you have questions that are not 
addressed in this manual, please do not hesitate to contact your local Allen Organ 
representative.  Welcome to the family of satisfied Allen Organ owners! 

 

 

BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEM 

 

The memory for the capture system on your MDS organ is sustained by a Lithium battery.  
This allows capture settings and related items to be retained in memory when the organ is 
switched off or unplugged.  Under normal circumstances, the Lithium battery should last for 
several years.  A built-in warning system will alert you when the battery becomes weak and 
needs to be replaced.  Have the Console Controller™ drawer open before the organ is turned 
on.  If there is a problem the window will display: 

 

                                                  

WARNING  ! !
Replace      Battery

 

for about six seconds after the organ is switched on.  Should the battery in your MDS organ 
require replacement, contact your local Allen authorized service representative.
