Cleaning the dome
Use the following procedures for cleaning the dome. Be aware that the interior of the dome requires extra care
in cleaning. Use only the procedures provided below.
Cleaning the exterior of the dome
To clean the exterior of the dome:
Use any nonabrasive cleaning cloth and a cleaning agent that is safe for use on polycarbonate or acrylic plastic.
Liquid or spray cleaner/wax suitable for fine furniture is acceptable.
Do not use this procedure for cleaning the interior of the dome.
Cleaning the interior of the dome
Use these procedures to clean the interior of the dome:
•
To remove dust and other surface contaminants, use clean, dry, pressurized air to gently blow off loose
material.
•
To remove heavier contaminants, rinse the dome with water and immediately dry it with clean, dry,
pressurized air to prevent water spots.
•
To remove stubborn contaminants, use a “wick” to clean the dome’s surface. To make the wick:
a. Use a high-quality, soft paper towel.
b. Roll a section of the paper towel into a tightly wound tube, tear the tube in half, and wet a fuzzy
end with 75% standard rubbing or isopropyl alcohol.
c. Hold the dome with its opening facing downward and wipe the interior with the wick (held at its
dry end) using a circular motion starting from the outside and spiraling into the center.
d. Use a new wick for each of two additional passes over the dome.
CAUTION: To prevent damage, do not touch the dome with your bare hands, do not place the dome face down on any
surface, and protect the dome from dust. Oil and acid from your hands can etch some dome surfaces and are difficult
to remove. Use a scratch-resistant cloth or gloves when handling the dome. Failure to comply may void your warranty.
CAUTION: Before using any cleaning agent, test on an inconspicuous spot of the unit to ensure that it doesn’t damage
the surface.
