TIPS ON USING YOUR FOG-RESISTANT MIRROR  
1. Never use alkaline (caustic), alcohol or other organic cleaning agents to clean the mirror surface  
since this will cause permanent damage to the mirror.  
2. Never use an abrasive cloth or paper to clean the mirror surface. This may damage the surface  
and adversely affect the life of the fog-resistant coating.  
3. The fog-resistant mirror is designed to minimize condensation on the surface under normal, warm  
shower conditions. However, under extremely or humid conditions, some condensation is  
unavoidable.  
4. Should water condense on the mirror surface, clean it with a soft lint-free cloth only.  
CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
1. Clean this unit with a damp (never wet) cloth. Solvents or detergents should never be used.  
2. Avoid leaving this unit in direct sunlight or in hot or dusty places.  
3. Keep your unit away from heating appliances and sources of electrical noise such as fluorescent  
lamps or motors.  
4. If drop-outs or interruptions occur in the music during CD play, or if the CD  
fails to play at all, its bottom surface may require cleaning. Before playing,  
wipe the disc from the center outwards with a good soft cleaning cloth.  
5. Your unit has rubber seals to minimize the risk of moisture getting inside.  
However, do not immerse it in water since permanent damage to the  
electrical and mechanical parts will result.  
6. Always clean the outside of the cabinet thoroughly if it becomes wet with moisture or water splashes.  
This will help to prevent the internal parts of the unit from entry of water and possible moisture  
damage.
