CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The structure of the system ensures
long years of operation with no need
for particular maintenance. In the
event of a fault, contact
Alfa Romeo Au-
thorised Services
.
Clean the front panel and display on-
ly using a soft, dry antistatic cloth.
Cleaning and polishing products may
damage the surface.
Treat the display with care. Do not
use pointed or hard objects which
might scratch and damage it.
Clean the display with a soft, clean
and dry cloth. Do not use solvents
which might corrode and damage the
display.COMPACT DISCS
If a Compact Disc is used on the
Sound system, remember that the
presence of dirt or marks on Compact
Discs may cause skipping when play-
ing and poor sound quality. The same
happens if Compact Discs are bent by
accident.
To obtain optimum playing condi-
tions we give the following advice:
– only use Audio Compact Disc with
the brand:
– carefully clean all Compact Discs of
any fingerprints and dust using a soft
cloth. Support Compact Discs on the
edges and clean from the centre out-
wards; – never use chemical products for
cleaning (e.g. spray cans, antistatics or
thinners) as they might damage the
surface of Compact Discs;
– after listening to them put Com-
pact Discs back in their boxes to avoid
marking or scoring which would cause
skipping when playing;
– do not expose Compact Discs to
direct sunlight, high temperatures or
damp for prolonged lengths of time to
prevent them from bending;
– do not stick labels or write on the
recorded surface of Compact Discs.
Be careful not to knock
the display with pointed
or hard objects and avoid
touching with the hands. Do not
press on the display when clean-
ing. If it gets broken, do not touch
the fluid which might come out.
In case it gets in contact with the
skin, wash it immediately with
water and soap.
