Caring for

a light dusting should

not
need
waxing or oiling. However; if
the enclosure surhces
become
dirty,they may
be cleaned with a
damp
cloth or a
cleaner
suiøble
for a sealed
wood
fìnish.
Never
use
a
pump
or spmy cleaner di-
recdy
on the speakers since
the
over-spnry
could be harmfulto the
L Series' speaker cones. lnstead,
apply cleaner to
a
soft rag
and then
wipe it onto the cabine¿
To remove dust from
the
grille
cloth, use a vacuum with a brush
attachmen¿ Spots may
be
removed with
a commercial
sPot
remover.
