MAINTENANCE
General maintenance
• The mechanism of the CD player is fitted with
self-lubricating bearings and therefore requires no
lubrication.
• Fingerprints, dust and marks can be removed
from the unit with a clean, slightly moist (not wet)
soft cloth or chamois leather. Use only water to
moisten the cloth or chamois leather.
• Apart from rain and moisture, excessive heat is
also bad for the unit and the discs; never leave
them for long periods in direct sunlight or in places
where high temperatures may occur, such as in a
car parked in the sun, near heating equipment etc.
• Protect the unit and the discs against sand.
CD player and discs
• The lens © (fig. 6) must never be cleanted.
• The lens may mist over if the unit is brought from
a cold into a warm environment. This prevents the
playback of discs. In such a case, do not clean the
lens, but leave the unit to acclimatise for a while.
• Always handle the discs by the edge (fig. 3) and
replace them in the box immediately after use.
• If there are fingerprints, dust or marks on the
disc, breathe on the disc and then remove the
marks by wiping the disc from the middle outwards
with a soft, lint-free cloth (fig. 7). Cleaning agents
may damage the surface of the disc.
