General Maintenance

Dust build-

up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to

reduction of the light source’s life. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean

lighting products at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental

conditions are contributing factors to increasing the cleaning frequency.

To clean the product, follow the instructions below:

1. Unplug the product from power.

2. Wait until the product is at room temperature.

3. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the

external surface/vents.

4. Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or

isopropyl alcohol.

5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.

6. Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.

Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.

Always dry the parts carefully after cleaning them.

Never spin a fan using compressed air.
