If

it

is

necessary

to

clean

the

dial

glass,

the

metal

insert

on

the

escutcheon

or

the

control

knobs

it

is

recommended

that

you

use

a

very

mild

detergent

and

water

solution

applied

with

a

soft

cloth

or

cotton

swab.

NEVER

use

a

strong

abrasive

cleaner

or

scour-

ing

powder

as

this

could

damage

the

finish

of

these

parts.

The

five

variable

slide

controls

have

been

manufactured

with

a

special

si

licone

lubricant

for

smooth

and

easy

operation.

These

controls

should

NEVER

be

cleaned

with

any

commercial

cleaner

or

solvent.

LUBRICATION

Do

not

attempt

to

lubricate

Factory

is

normally

sufficient

for

quite

some

time.

However,

in

order

to

keep

the

unit

in

top

operating

condi-

tion,

we

suggest

you

have

it

in-

spected

once

a

year

by

a

qualified

service

technician.
