• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing
• Housings, fixations and installations spots( ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any deformation
- The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a small problem is detected
- In order to protect the fixture from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be cleaned monthly.
- The interior of the fixture should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.
- Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
• Always dry the parts carefully.
- Clean the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.

ATTENTION: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified
