Maintenance & safety (See 8)

CD player and CD handling

• If the CD player cannot read CDs correctly,
use a cleaning CD to clean the lens before
taking the set to repair.
• The lens of the CD player should never be
touched!
• Sudden changes in the surrounding
temperature can cause condensation on the
lens of your CD player. Playing a CD is then
not possible. Do not attempt to clean the
lens but leave the set in a warm environment
until the moisture evaporates.
• Always close the CD-tape door to avoid dust
on the lens.
• To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from
the center towards the edge using a soft,
lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents as
they may damage the disc.
• Never write on a CD or attach any stickers
to it.
Tape deck maintenance
To ensure quality recording and playback of
the tape deck, clean parts A, B and C as
shown, once a month. Use a cotton bud
slightly moistened with alcohol or a special
head cleaning fluid to clean the deck.

pler is used as the disconnect device, the dis-
connect device shall remain readily operable.

ping or splashing.
• Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of
15cm (6 inches) between the ventilation
holes and surrounding surfaces is necessary

items such as newspapers, table-cloths, cur-
tains, etc.
