Cleaning the main unit cabinet
• Gently dust the cabinet surface with a soft dry
cloth. When the cabinet is very dirty, dampen the
cloth with a neutral detergent diluted with water,
wring out the cloth well, and then wipe the cabi-
net with the dampened cloth followed by a soft
dry cloth.
• Do not wipe the cabinet with thinners or ben-
zenes. Wiping it with these agents may cause
