Panel Maintenance
If a panel becomes soiled, wipe it off with
a soft cloth soaked in clean water and
thoroughly wrung out.
If some areas require further cleaning, use
the following procedure:
1. Wipe the soiled area with a soft cloth
soaked in a mild detergent
(approx. 5 %) diluted with water.
2. Wipe off the remaining detergent using
a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.
NOTE
Be particularly careful when cleaning
shiny surface panels and metallic parts
such as plating as they can be scratched
easily.
Cleaning the Window Interiors
If the windows become covered with an
oily, greasy, or waxy ¿ lm, clean them with
glass cleaner. Follow the directions on the
container.
CAUTION
Do not scrape or scratch the inside of
the window glass. It could damage
the thermal ¿ laments and the aerial
lines.
When washing the inside of the
window glass, use a soft cloth
dampened in lukewarm water, gently
wiping the thermal ¿ laments and the
aerial lines.
Use of glass cleaning products could
damage the thermal ¿ laments and the
aerial lines.
