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 as 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 and 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 voltage matches the voltage specified on the Clavinova's nameplate (located on the bottom panel, under the keyboard). Note that some Clavinovas are equipped with a voltage selector dial located next to the power-cord inlet. If your unit includes a selector, turn it as necessary (with a screwdriver) to select the correct voltage. q Nameplate Location The CLP-811/611 nameplate is located on the bottom panel.
