Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Fresh 'n Rebel Soul speaker, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the speaker. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

- Storage: Store the speaker in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
