To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, the user should clean the light fixtures frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the cleaning frequency. As a rule, the user should clean the fixtures at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced light source life and increased mechanical wear.

CHAUVET® recommends cleaning the fixture’s external optics with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.

To clean a fixture, follow the recommendations below:

•Unplug the fixture from power.

•Wait until the fixture is cold.

•Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external vents and reachable internal components.

•Clean all external optics and glass surfaces with a mild solution of glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol, and a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.

•Apply the solution directly to the cloth or tissue and drag any dirt and grime to the outside of the lens.

•Gently polish the external glass surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.

•When cleaning units with a movable mirror, you should keep the contact with the mirror surface to a minimum to avoid scratching or damaging it.

Always dry the external optics and glass surfaces carefully after cleaning them.

If the fixture has one or more fans, refrain from spinning them using compressed air.
