Taking Care Of Your Clavinova
Your Clavinova is a fine musical instrument, and deserves the most careful treatment. Observe the following
points and your Clavinova will sound and look great for many years.
1 Never open the case and touch or tamper with
the internal circuitry.
2 Always turn the POWER switch OFF after use,
and close the key cover to protect the keyboard.
3 Clean the cabinet and keys of your Clavinova
only with a clean, slightly damp cloth. A neutral
cleanser may be used if desired. Never use
abrasive cleansers, waxes, solvents, or chemical
dust cloths as these can dull or damage the
finish.
4 Never place any vinyl products on your
Clavinova. Contact with vinyl can cause irre-
versible damage to the finish.
5 Install your Clavinova in a place that is away
from direct sunlight, excessive humidity and
heat.
6 Never apply excessive force to the controls,
connectors or other parts of your Clavinova, and
avoid scratching or bumping it with hard ob-
jects.
7 Make sure that your local AC voltage matches
the voltage specified on the Clavinova’s name-
plate (located on the bottom panel, under the
keyboard). Note that some Clavinovas are
equipped with a voltage selector dial located
next to the power-cord inlet. If your unit in-
cludes a selector, turn it as necessary (with a
screwdriver) to select the correct voltage.
● Nameplate Location
