Like any mechanical system (e.g. a new car), a loudspeaker requires a “running-in” period to perform at
its best. You will experience a gradual increase in sound quality during the first period of use. The break-
in period will vary depending on use and playback volume (approximately 50 hours at medium volume is
recommended). Unlike other mechanical systems, the life-span of a loudspeaker is increased by normal,
regular playback of music.
OvErLOAD
If the KUBIK FREE is overloaded it will automatically turn off to protect itself and the power LED will start
flashing. Turn on KUBIK FREE manually after approximately 15-20 min.
CLEANINg
Clean the cabinets with a soft, dry cloth. If the cabinets are dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in all-purpose
cleaner and then well wrung out. Be very careful when wiping the speaker cones, as they are very fragile.
Front grilles can be cleaned with a clothes brush and wiped with a wellwrung, lint-free cloth and mild all-
purpose cleaner.
DISpOSAL
If you want to dispose of this product, do not mix it with general household waste. There is a separate
collection system for used electronic products in accordance with legislation that requires proper treatment,
recovery and recycling. Private households in the EU member states, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Norway
may return their used electronic products free of charge to designated collection facilities or to a retailer (if
you purchase a similar new one). If you reside in countries not mentioned above, please contact your local
authorities for the correct method of disposal. By following this process, you will ensure that your disposed
product undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative
effects on the environment and human health.
