13. Maintenance

When maintaining and cleaning the camera and accessories, pay careful attention to the following notes and tips:

•Always disconnect the camera from the power supply.

•Clean the camera and accessories only on a clean and flat surface which is covered with foam material or a clean, lint-free cloth.

•Under no circumstances use acetone or nitro-thinner. These chemicals dissolve the paint and can damage highly-polished surfaces.

•For cleaning, it is recommended to use soft, lint-free cloths and swabs. Also suitable are special cleaning tissues and small sponges as used in cleaning com- puters and video equipment.

•When cleaning the film movement, do not exert too much pressure. Use only the prescribed special tools. Use only screwdrivers of the correct size.

•From time to time – at the latest however after the occurrence of a film jam – it is recommended to clean the entire interior of the camera and also the magazine throat, the film movement and the film gate with a brush. In most cases it is sufficient to vacuum out dust and film chips from the camera and the magazine interiors. A small battery-powered vacuum cleaner, as used in cleaning computers, is suitable for this task.
