Care and cleaning
Under normal use, the amplifier will not require any special care. Over time you may
wish to clean the exterior of the unit by wiping it with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or
dust that accumulates on it. Do not let any liquid enter the amplifier thru the vents in the
top cover. You may clean the connectors on the rear panel with isopropyl alcohol
annually.
