Maintenance

Cleaning

When cleaning the integrated amplifier bear in mind that the front of the integrated amplifier is plastic, and the display panel and lid are glass.

Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the unit.

Note: Do not use abrasive cleaners on any part of the integrated

amplifier.

To clean the case, display panel, and keypad

●Use a slightly damp cloth.

Ensure that no water is allowed to get inside the case, and do not reconnect the power until you are certain that the integrated amplifier is completely dry.

To clean the audio connections

The audio sockets on the back of the integrated amplifier are gold-plated and need no cleaning if gold-plated phono plugs are used. Otherwise, it is recommended that you unplug and reconnect the plugs at least once a year. A proprietary contact cleaner can be used to some advantage.

To change the mains fuse

Fuse

Spare

●Remove the mains connector, and pull out the drawer next to the power input to access the fuses.

Before replacing a blown fuse, if possible ascertain the cause of the failure.

The fuse drawer includes a spare fuse. This should be replaced by one of the same rating.
