Maintenance & Care Cleaning the Glass – Apollo enclosures are equipped with anti-reflective safety glass to ensure the best possible viewing experience. To properly clean the glass, we recommend the use of a soft cotton or microfiber cloth. Do not use paper towel, tissues or rags as it may damage the coating on the glass and leave lint behind. For cleaning glass, we recommend a standard 70/30 isopropyl alcohol mix. Spray the cleaner on the soft cloth and gently clean the glass.

Safety - Review all safety instructions and warnings in Section 3 of the guide before troubleshooting.

Once the back and front are aligned, the cover will close safely and securely to the back panel.
