Precautions & General Maintenance; Recorder Maintenance - Philips AZ1116/10 User Manual

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 temperatures 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 dis-
sipate 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 alco-
hol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives as these may harm the housing.
CD MAINTENANCE
– The lens of the CD player should never be touched.
– The lens may cloud over if the set is moved from cold to warm sur-
roundings. The CD player will not start. Give the player some time to
acclimatise.
– To take a CD out of its box, press the centre spindle while lifting the
CD. Always pick up the CD by the edge and replace the CD back in
its box after use to avoid scratching and dust.
– To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from the centre 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 stickers to it.
