13. Maintenance
When maintaining and cleaning the camera and accessories,
pay careful attention to the following notes and tips:
Always disconnect the camera from the power supply.
Clean the camera and accessories only on a clean and
flat surface which is covered with foam material or a
clean, lint-free cloth.
Under no circumstances use acetone or nitro-thinner.
These chemicals dissolve the paint and can damage
highly-polished surfaces.
For cleaning, it is recommended to use soft, lint-free
cloths and swabs. Also suitable are special cleaning
tissues and small sponges as used in cleaning com-
puters and video equipment.
When cleaning the film movement, do not exert too
much pressure. Use only the prescribed special tools.
Use only screwdrivers of the correct size.
From time to time – at the latest however after the
occurrence of a film jam – it is recommended to clean
the entire interior of the camera and also the magazine
throat, the film movement and the film gate with a
brush. In most cases it is sufficient to vacuum out dust
and film chips from the camera and the magazine
interiors. A small battery-powered vacuum cleaner, as
used in cleaning computers, is suitable for this task.
