Maintenance of External Surfaces

•Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.

•When the surfaces are dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water, and wrung out well, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.

•Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the surfaces.
