17 Cleaning and Maintenance
Occasionally, the cleaning of the Sinar Hy6 system may be necessary. Please observe the
following cleaning instructions to prevent any damage to the camera.
To clean the camera body, use a lint-free, soft, slightly moistened tissue, e.g. cotton. Do
not use substances containing organic solvents, benzyl or diluting agents. Make sure to
moisten the piece of cloth only slightly to prevent that any moisture enters the camera.
Any contact of the internal parts of the camera with water can lead to severe
damages of the Sinar Hy6 system or even to an electric shock.
Prevent the occurrence of condensation water. If any condensation occurs, detach the
lens and the back / film magazine from the camera body. Do not use the camera any
more until the condensation water has evaporated completely.
Use a dry and soft wood-free tissue, or a soft brush to clean the lens. Do not use
substances containing organic solvents, benzyl or diluting agents. In case of heavy soiling,
please contact customer service.
When the camera is not in use, use the lens protection cap. Also, when the back is
detached from the body, use the protection cover to prevent any soiling of the inner
component parts of the camera.
Shut the waist-level viewfinder when the camera is not in use.
For further information, please refer to the safety instructions in Æ chapter 2.
