Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Hama Anzano keyboard, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Dust Removal: Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keys. Hold the can upright and spray in short bursts.
• Liquid Spills: In case of a liquid spill, immediately disconnect the keyboard from your computer. Turn it upside down to drain as much liquid as possible. Allow it to dry completely for at least 24-48 hours before reconnecting. Do not attempt to use the keyboard if it is still wet.
