Routine Servicing
Ⅵ Clean dirt on the cabinet
Do this with a soft cloth. In case of heavy soiling, soak a
cloth in neutral detergent diluted with water, wring dry
and wipe, followed by wiping again using a dry cloth.
Pay attention to the following to prevent the cabinet from
deteriorating in condition, getting damaged, or the paint
from coming off.
● Do not wipe with a stiff cloth
● Do not wipe with force
● Do not wipe with thinner or benzene

● Do not allow prolonged contact with rubber or
plastic products
Ⅵ Remove dirt that is attached to the vent holes
Do this using a vacuum cleaner. Wipe using a cloth if a

Do this using commercial blowers or lens cleaning
papers (for cleaning glasses and cameras).

peeling of the surface coating film.
