inserted.

Cleaning

Use only a soft dry cloth to clean the enclosure of your

Wave ®
bristled attachment to gently vacuum the front of the
enclosure. Do not use any liquid cleaning solutions,
solvents, chemicals, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives.
CAUTION: Do not allow liquids to spill into any openings
in the enclosure. If liquids get into the unit, unplug the
product immediately. Call Bose
soon as possible to arrange for service. See the list of
