Operating Determinations

When installing this mixer, please make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust! There should not be any cables lying around. Doing so endangers you as well as others.

Do not operate the mixer in extremely hot (more than 30˚C / 100˚F) or extremely cold (less than 5˚C / 40˚F) surroundings. Keep away from direct sunlight and heaters.

Operate the mixer only after becoming familiar with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not qualified for operating the mixer. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation!

Never use spray cleaners to clean the faders! Never use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean the mixer! It is recommended that you use a soft damp cloth. Please consider that unauthorized modifications on the device are forbidden due to safety reasons!
