Care, maintenance, and cleaning 
When the CI6 amp becomes dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry, soft cloth. If necessary, first wipe the 
surface with a slightly dampened soft cloth with mild soapy water, then with a fresh cloth 
dampened with clean water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, thinner, 
alcohol, or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will damage 
the finish of the metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide, waxes, polishing agents, or any aerosol 
product near the CI6.
