  • Page 87 DigitalSpot 5000 DT DANGER ! Disconnect from the mains before starting any cleaning and maintenance work The front covering glasses will require weekly cleaning as smoke-fluid tends to building up residues, reducing the light output very quickly. The cooling fans should be cleaned monthly. The interior of the fixture should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.
