Cleaning the Unit
We recommend that you clean the Definium AMX 700 regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive
cleaner. Apply the cleaner to the cloth, not directly to the unit, to safe-guard against damage to the
circuitry. If a corrosive chemical is spilled or splashed on the unit surface, be sure to clean it off
immediately.
