PRECAUTIONS & GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Place the set on a hard, flat surface so that it does not tilt.
Do not expose the set, CDs, batteries or cassettes to humidity,
rain, sand, direct sunlight or other places where high temper­
atures can occur, such as in the vicinity of heating apparatus
or in motor cars parked in the sun.
Do not cover the set. The amplifier produces heat which must
dissipate freely, so make sure that there is sufficient
ventilation around the set. A minimum gap of 15 cm is
necessary.
The mechanical parts of the CD player and the cassette deck
contain self-lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or
lubricated.
A chamois leather slightly moistened with water is sufficient
for cleaning the housing. Do not use cleaning agents
containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives as these
may harm the housing.
