Product Care
Do not expose the CD965 to extremes of temperature. The product
should be kept in a warm environment free from dust and damp. For
external cleaning use only a soft, clean cloth. Use a damp cloth to clean
the plastic cabinet. A mild soap will help to remove grease or oil. Never
use strong detergents or spray cleaners, abrasive powders, thinners or
solvents on the machine, as these may cause damage the finish.
CD Player Maintenance
The player mechanism is fitted with self-lubricating bearings, and must
not be oiled or greased.
Cleaning compact discs
While CDs do not ‘scratch’ the way vinyl records do, they are not
indestructible. Although the music tracks on the disc are covered with a
protective layer, it is still advisable to treat the disc carefully. As long as
you always pick up discs by the edge, and put them back in their holders
immediately after use, cleaning will not normally be necessary. However,
should fingerprints, dust or dirt appear, you can wipe them off with a soft,
lint-free cloth. Wipe the disc in a straight line from centre to edge. If the
discisheavilysoiled useacommerciallyavailableCDcleaner. Detergent
or abrasive cleaning agents must never be used. Never write on the disc
label – this can cause irreparable damage to the disc.
