Fabric*
Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean it with a mild soap solution good
for upholstery and carpets. Remove fresh
spots immediately with a fabric spot
cleaner.
To keep the fabric looking clean and
fresh, take care of it. Otherwise its color
will be affected, it can be stained easily,
and its fire-resistance may be reduced.
CAUTION
Use only recommended cleaners and
procedures. Others may affect
appearance and fire-resistance.
Suede-like material*
Stains which are not treated immediately
will be difficult to remove later, and may
cause fading or discoloration.
Remove stains as soon as possible.
To clean, wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
Then buff with a soft, dry cloth.
If stains cannot be removed, using plain
water, try wiping with soapy water or a
mild detergent.
CAUTION
Don't clean the suede with leather
cleaner, a detergent, or soap. It will
cause discoloration.
Form No. 8R65-EA-03C
Appearance Care
To dry away any water, wipe with a soft,
dry cloth.
CAUTION
Sharp or pointed metal objects can
damage the suede beyond repair.
Piano black panel
The center panel and door switch panels
have been treated with a special coating
that resists scratching.
When the panel needs to be cleaned, use a
soft cloth to wipe off dirt from the surface.
NOTE
Scratches or nicks on the center and
door switch panels resulting from the
use of a hard brush or cloth may not be
repairable.
