Cleaning the main unit cabinet

Gently dust the cabinet surface with a soft dry cloth. When the cabinet is very dirty, dampen the cloth with a neutral detergent diluted with water, wring out the cloth well, and then wipe the cabi- net with the dampened cloth followed by a soft dry cloth.

Do not wipe the cabinet with thinners or ben- zenes. Wiping it with these agents may cause discoloration of the cabinet or removal of the paint. Do not spray insecticides or other highly volatile agents onto the cabinet. Do not leave pieces of rubber or plastic on the cabinet for a long period.
