General precautions
 To prevent damage to the controls and cosmetics, avoid placing heavy objects on the
control surface, scratching the surface or touch screen with sharp objects, or rough
handling and vibration.

Protect the equipment from damage through liquid or dust contamination. Cover the
mixer when it is not being used for a long period.

Computer and touch screen technology can be affected by extreme cold. If the
equipment has been stored in sub-zero temperatures allow time for it to reach normal
operating temperature before use at the venue. Recommended operating temperature
for Qu is 5 to 35 degrees Celsius.

Avoid using the equipment in extreme heat and direct sunlight. Make sure the mixer
ventilation slots are not obstructed and that there is adequate air movement around the
equipment.

Clean the surface with a soft brush and dry lint-free cloth. Do not use chemicals,
abrasives or solvents.

It is recommended that servicing is carried out only by an authorised Allen & Heath
