@Cleaning
Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water to
which a small amount of mild liquid dish soap has been added and then wipe with a dry cloth.
Do not use products such as solvents, thinner, or household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the surface
coating. (If using a chemically-treated cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.)
@ Do not attach sticky tape or labels, as they can make the surface of the pedestal dirty. Do not allow long-term
contact with rubber, vinyl products, or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)
