5.TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Product
Maintenance
Dust build-
up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can
lead to reduction of the light source’s life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum
performance and minimize wear, you should clean your lighting products at least twice a
month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be
contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.
To clean this product, follow the instructions below:
•Unplug the product from power.
•Wait until the product is cold.
•Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on
the external surface/vents.
•Clean all lens surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or
isopropyl alcohol.
•Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
•Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside edges of the lens surface.
•Gently polish the lens surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the lens surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
