Maintenance Features
Proper care and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your LarkSound L220 Soundbar:
- Cleaning: The unit should only be cleaned with a clean, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using chemical solvents, as these can damage the finish of the product.
- Placement: Place the soundbar on a dry, stable surface, away from direct sunlight, sources of excessive heat, dirt, dust, moisture, humidity, and vibration. Ensure there is adequate ventilation by leaving at least 20 cm of space above and 5 cm on each side of the unit. Do not block ventilation openings with items like newspapers or tablecloths.
- Protection from Elements: The apparatus must not be exposed to dripping or splashing liquids. Do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the unit. Protect the equipment from direct heat, rain, moisture, or dust to prevent fire or shock hazards.
- Power Cord Care: Always pull directly on the power plug when removing it from the wall outlet, never on the cord itself, to prevent damage. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched.
