is initiated from the Settings menu. You should
always aim keep the Bowers & Wilkins Home
app and your Formation devices up to date with
the latest version and firmware. Not only will this
help ensure the most reliable performance, it
will ensure that you benefit from new Formation
features.
5. Cleaning and Support
Cleaning
Should your Formation Bass need cleaning you
can wipe its surfaces with a clean lint-free cloth. If
you wish to use any cleaning fluid, apply it onto the
cleaning cloth and not directly onto the Formation
Bass. Test a small area first, as some cleaning
products may damage some of the surfaces. Avoid
products that are abrasive, or contain acid, alkali
or anti-bacterial agents. Take care when handling
your Formation Bass not to damage the driver
diaphragms located on each end of its enclosure.
