5. Maintenance With care, the Color One 100 requires little maintenance. However, as the unit is likely to be used in a stage environment we recommend periodical internal inspection and cleaning of any resulting dust and cracked oil residue. If the front enclosure requires cleaning, wipe with a mild detergent on a damp cloth. www.chroma-q.com Color One 100 User Manual 16 V1.
