Cleaning the unit

Stains on the unit

diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean

damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about
the followings.

Handling discs

Remove the disc from its case by
holding it at the edge while pressing the
center hole lightly.

disc, or bend the disc.
Put the disc back in its case after use to
prevent warping.

temperature extremes, and moisture.
To clean the disc
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight
line from center to edge.
