8. Cleaning
Unplug the unit from the mains supply before
cleaning.
The case should normally only require a wipe
with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use paint
thinners or other chemical solvents for cleaning.
We do not advise the use of furniture cleaning
sprays or polishes as they can cause indelible

Only connect the appliance to a power supply of
the type described in the operating instructions or
as marked on the appliance.
This is a Class 1 device and must be earthed.
The primary method of isolating Solo from the
mains supply is to use the switch on the rear of
Solo. Solo must be installed in manner that makes
disconnection possible.
10. Power-cord protection
Power supply cords should be routed so that they
are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying particular
attention to cords and plugs, and the point where
they exit from the appliance.
11. Grounding
Ensure that the grounding means of the appliance
is not defeated.
12. Power lines
Locate any outdoor antenna/aerial away from
power lines.
13. Non-use periods

of current will continue to flow into the equipment
in this mode. Unplug the power cord of the
appliance from the outlet if left unused for a long
period of time.
