APPENDIX B: MIRRORED DOME HANDLING
CAUTION!
For warranty protection, read and adhere to the following dome handling instructions carefully.
The inside surface of a chrome or gold dome is easily scratched. Please use the following
precautions to maintain the dome's surface.
A)
Never touch the inside surface of a mirrored dome with bare hands. The acid
from your fingers will etch the mirrored coating. Wear cotton gloves while handling the
dome. If fingerprints accidentally get on the dome's interior surface, immediately and
carefully remove them according to the recommended cleaning procedure outlined in
step E below.
B)
Always handle the dome from the outside of its circular flange.
C)
To remove dust and other surface contaminants from the dome's interior:
Use clean dry pressurized air to gently blow off loose contaminants.
D)
To remove heavier contaminants that cannot be removed with pressurized air:
Rinse the dome with water and immediately dry it with clean dry pressurized air (to
prevent water spots). Avoid wiping the coated surface—it is easily abraded. Once
scratched, the dome cannot be recoated.
E)
To clean residue that requires internal wiping:
DO NOT rub the inside of the dome by hand. Instead, make and use a "wick" as
follows:
Only use "Microwave Bounty" or an equivalent soft brand of paper towel.
Roll a section of paper towel into a tightly wound tube; tear the tube in half; and wet
the fuzzy end of this wick with 75% standard rubbing or isopropyl alcohol.
Holding the dome with its opening facing downward, wipe the interior of the dome
with the wick (held at its dry end) using a circular motion starting from the outside
and spiraling into the center.
Use a new wick for each two passes over the dome.
F)
To clean the exterior of the dome:
Use any nonabrasive cleaning cloth and cleaning agent that is safe for use on acrylic
plastic. Either liquid or spray cleaner/wax suitable for fine furniture is acceptable.
