Appearance Care
Form No. 8R65-EA-03C
Fabric*
Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric
with a whisk broom or vacuum cleaner.
Clean it with a mild soap solution good
for upholstery and carpets. Remove fresh
spots immediately with a fabric spot
cleaner.
To keep the fabric looking clean and
fresh, take care of it. Otherwise its color
will be affected, it can be stained easily,
and its fire-resistance may be reduced.
Suede-like material*
Stains which are not treated immediately
will be difficult to remove later, and may
cause fading or discoloration.
Remove stains as soon as possible.
To clean,
wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
Then buff with a soft, dry cloth.
If stains cannot be removed, using plain
water, try wiping with soapy water or a
mild detergent.
To dry away any water,
wipe with a soft,
dry cloth.
Piano black panel
The center panel and door switch panels
have been treated with a special coating
that resists scratching.
When the panel needs to be cleaned, use a
soft cloth to wipe off dirt from the surface.
Use only recommended cleaners and
procedures. Others may affect
appearance and fire-resistance.
Dont clean the suede with leather
cleaner, a detergent, or soap. It will
cause discoloration.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Sharp or pointed metal objects can
damage the suede beyond repair.
NOTE
Scratches or nicks on the center and
door switch panels resulting from the
use of a hard brush or cloth may not be
repairable.
CAUTION
*Some models.
