How

to

Care

for

Your

Kawai

Organ

Here

are

some

general

rules

to

follow.

1)

Always

plug

your

KAWAI

into

a

standard

voltage

AC

line

for

your

area.

Plugging

into

a

DC

outlet

will

cause

damage.

2)

To

remove

any

greasiness

from

the

cabinetry,

keys,

or

pedals,

use

a

damp

cloth

and

a

little

mild

soap.

Be

sure

to

wipe

dry

with

a

soft

cloth.

3)

Do

not

expose

your

KAWAI

to

direct

sunlight,

cold

drafts

or

radiator

heat.

4)

The

battery

protecting

the

sequener/registration

memory

con¬

tents

should

last

for

five

years.

When

it

is

exhausted,

the

WRITE

button

will

flash

three

time.

Replacement

is

not

a

job

for

an

amateur.

Have

an

authorized

repairman

replace

the

battery.

This

is

used

to

overcome
