Video head cleaning

This unit comes with an auto head cleaning function which reduces the amount of dirt on the heads automatically. However, in order to improve the unit’s reliability, it is recommended that the video heads be cleaned on a daily basis. Use the cleaning fluid specified by Panasonic.

Maintenance

Before proceeding with maintenance, set the power switch to OFF, and be absolutely sure to hold the molded part of the power plug to disconnect it from the power outlet.

Clean the cabinet using a soft cloth. To remove stubborn dirt, dilute some kitchen detergent, soak a cloth in the solution and wring it out well, and then wipe away the dirt. After wiping off the dirt, use a dry cloth to take up the remaining moisture. Do not use paint thinners or benzine.
