Maintaining Your C/DP-2000 Ultra

Your C/DP-2000 Ultra requires no periodic maintenance and has no user serviceable parts inside. To avoid risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover. To keep it clean use only a soft cloth and never use any solvents or abrasives. Since dust and dirt can cause problems, keep the plexiglas door closed when you are not using the C/DP-2000 Ultra.
