Cleaning Maintenance
The system should be cleaned after every use. Make sure the system is turned off and unplugged before cleaning. Clean the covers and panels periodically with a damp cloth. Use a mild detergent, if necessary, to remove scuffs and bloodstains. Do not use any solvents which may damage or discolour paint finishes or plastic components. Be careful not to drip liquids where they can enter electronic assemblies through panel or cover seams
