Cleaning:
Do not use solvents for cleaning. The ear-muffs can be cleaned with a damp cloth soaked with a warm soap solution and allowed to dry
before re-use. Do not use abrasive brushes or materials which may damage the foam pads or cushions. Do not immerse the ear-muffs in water. Use
only cleaning agents that are known to not be harmful to the wearer. This product may be adversely affected by certain chemical substances. Further
information from the manufacturer.
Maintenance:
Ear-muffs and in particular cushions may deteriorate with use and should be examined at frequent intervals for example for cracking
and leakage. Replace the cushions as necessary, at least every 6 months. Pull off the old cushions (fig. 4) and press the new ones carefully and firmly
on all areas into their proper place on the ear-cups. The headband should not be flexed or adjusted unnecessarily, as the correct pressure is an
important factor in maintaining the attenuation afforded by these ear-muffs. Do not open the cups or remove the foam liners. If the cups are opened,
warranty of the product is no longer valid.
Storage:
Before and after using ear-muffs store them in a clean and dust free place. It is common that moisture may occur in side the ear cups in long-
term use. Therefore it is important to dry the moisture inside the cups to prevent damages caused by corrosion.
After long-term use it is recommended
to turn the ear cups outwards to allow the foam linings to dry.
Spare parts:
Note: The fitting of hygiene covers (Comfort rings) to the cushions may affect the acoustic performance of the earmuffs.
