Taking Care Of Your Clavinova Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument, and deserves the most careful treatment. Observe the following points and your Clavinova will sound and look great for many years. 1 Never open the case and touch or tamper with the internal circuitry. 2 Always turn the POWER switch OFF after use, and close the key cover to protect the keyboard. 3 Clean the cabinet and keys of your Clavinova only with a clean, slightly damp cloth. A neutral cleanser may be used if desired. Never use abrasive cleansers, waxes, solvents or chemical dust cloths since these can dull or damage the finish. 4 Never place any vinyl products on your Clavinova. Contact with vinyl can cause irreversible damage to the finish. 5 Install your Clavinova in a place that is away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity or heat. 6 Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of your Clavinova, and avoid scratching or bumping it with hard objects. 7 Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. To change the setting use a "minus" screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel. q Name Plate Location The CLP-411/511 name plate is located on the bottom panel.
