Robin CycFX 8 9. Cleaning and maintenance DANGER ! Disconnect from the mains before starting any cleaning or maintenance work The front transparent cover will require monthly cleaning as smoke fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light output very quickly. For cleaning use a wet clout or an air-jet. Do not use solvents or any other aggressive cleaning fluid. Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by a qualified person.
