Internal care
In order to ensure proper operation of the CD player, preven-
tative maintenance (cleaning of the Laser Pick-up lens) should
be performed periodically in order to keep the lens dust-free.
Lens cleaners are commercially available. Contact your local
CD software dealer for options.
External care
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and dilute soap
solution, then wipe with a dry cloth.
Do not use chemically treated cleaning cloths or other chem-
icals.
