2-4	Maintenance

■If you ever lose power to the computer or have to press CTRL-ALT- DEL while writing to a CD, do not open the CD tray. You may still be able to salvage your CD. For instructions on how to do this read the pertinent section on page 3-5.

■Do not mix audio and data files on the same CD, since they require different formats, unless you are creating Mixed Mode or CD-Extra CDs. For more information on Mixed Mode and CD-Extra CDs see the Easy-CD Creator online help.

Maintenance

The CD-Writer Plus drive requires no maintenance or cleaning. If you simply keep your CDs clean, you will prevent most problems.

CAUTION: DO NOT use the CD-ROM cleaning CDs that rely on a small brush to sweep dirt off the laser. DO NOT use high-pressure air to clean the inside of the drive. These cleaning techniques will damage the CD-Writer Plus drive.
