Maintenance

Cleaning Your Speakers

To maintain the appearance and performance of your KEF Egg Duo speakers, follow these cleaning guidelines:

  • Always disconnect the speakers from the power source before cleaning.
  • Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe down the speaker surfaces.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents as these can damage the finish.
  • Avoid spraying cleaning liquids directly onto the speakers. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
