Cleaning instructions
!Do not touch the display. The display has
a very sensitive high-gloss surface; there is a risk of scratching. If you have to clean the
screen, however, use a mild cleaning agent
and a soft, lint-free cloth.
The COMAND display must be switched off
and have cooled down before you start clean- ing. Clean the display screen, when neces-
sary, with a commercially available microfiber
cloth and cleaning agent for TFT and LCD dis-
plays. Do not apply pressure to the display
surface when cleaning it, as this could cause
irreversible damage. Then, dry the surface
with a dry microfiber cloth.
Avoid using alcoholic thinners, gasoline or
abrasive cleaning agents. These could dam-
age the display surface.
