Care for your Creative Sonic Carrier Subwoofer
Cabinet
The Cabinet of the Sonic Carrier Subwoofer is finely crafted from wood finished in vinyl laminate or high gloss lacquer; and should be
treated as you would furniture with similar materials and finishes. Dust lightly with a soft, clean lint-free cloth, avoiding abrasives
and spirit based cleaners. If necessary, wipe carefully with a cloth slightly dampened with glass cleaner to remove stubborn soil
and marks.
Grilles
The acoustically transparent fabric grille protects the subwoofer driver units, and must not be removed. This could be carefully
cleaned using a lint brush, be careful not to press in and deform the drivers under the grille. The space between the grille and the
cabinet could be dusted very carefully with a soft dry brush. Avoid touching the woofer diaphragm.
General care information
Avoid damp, direct sunlight and temperature extremes.The ventilation and ports should not be impeded by covering the ventilation
openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc. No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be
placed on the apparatus.

** A seller in the European Union (EU) may be entitled to refuse to repair or replace the goods if it is (i) impossible or (ii) disproportionate (eg. where the costs are unreasonably
high for the seller) to do so, taking into account the value the goods would have had (if there were no lack of conformity), the significance of the lack of conformity and where
an alternative remedy would be completed without significant inconvenience to the consumer. In such cases, the consumer may ask for an appropriate reduction of the price
or have the contract rescinded. The consumer is not entitled to have the contract rescinded if the lack of conformity (or defect or fault) is minor. In which case, the seller is
entitled to turn down a request for rescission of the contract in such a situation. For further details, please refer to Articles 3(3), 3(5) and 3(6) of the EU Directive 1999/44/EC.
