Safety and general mainte-
nance

that the system does not tilt.
• Do not expose the set, batteries, CDs to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused
by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
• The apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
• Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of
15cm between the ventilation holes and sur-
rounding surfaces is necessary to prevent
heat build-up.
• The ventilation should not be impeded by
covering the ventilation openings with items,
such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc..
• No objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
shall be placed on the appartus.
• No naked flame sources, such as lighted can-
dles, should be placed on the apparatus.
• The mechanical parts of the set contain
self-lubricating bearings and must not be oiled
or lubricated.

use any cleaning agents containing alcohol,
ammonia, benzene or abrasives as these may

• If you do not intend to use the CD clock
radio for a long time, withdraw the power
cord from the wall outlet.

• Sudden changes in the surrounding tempera-
ture can cause condensation to form and the
lens of your CD player to cloud over. Playing
a CD is then not possible. Do not attempt to
clean the lens but leave the set in a warm
environment until the moisture evaporates.
• Always shut the CD door to keep the CD
compartment dust-free.To clean, dust the
compartment with a soft dry cloth.
• To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from
the center towards the edge using a soft, lint-
free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents as they
may damage the disc.

to it.
