Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

Disconnect the AC cord, then use a damp cloth to clean the airSynth's
metal and plastic surfaces. For heavy dirt, use a non-abrasive
household cleaner such as Formula 409 or Fantastik. DO NOT SPRAY
THE CLEANER DIRECTLY ONTO THE FRONT OF THE UNIT AS IT
MAY DESTROY THE LUBRICANTS USED IN THE SWITCHES AND
CONTROLS! Spray onto a cloth, then use cloth to clean the unit.
Refer All Servicing to Alesis
We believe that the airSynth is one of the best processors that can be
made using current technology, and should provide years of trouble-
free use. However, should problems occur, DO NOT attempt to service
the unit yourself. Service on this product should be performed only by
qualified technicians. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
