• Udvendig rengøring: Tør de udvendige overflader af med en blød, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish or the wood panel.
• Indvendig rengøring: Periodically use compressed air to remove dust from internal components, especially fan blades and heatsinks. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
