■ Instrument and Bench Maintenance
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
If you are using a model with a polished finish, gently remove dust and dirt with a soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard
since small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument's finish.
To keep the surface polished, apply commercially available piano polisher to a soft cloth and wipe the instrument’s
surface with it. Then, polish it with a separate cloth. Before using any piano polisher, make sure to read the
instructions for proper usage.
• Tighten the screws of the instrument and bench periodically.
■ Bench Height Adjustment
The bench height can be adjusted by rotating the handle. Rotating clockwise heightens the bench. (Before shipment,
the handle is firmly fastened.)
■ Pedal Cleaning
As with an acoustic piano, pedals may become tarnished across the ages. When this occurs, polish the pedal with a
compound designed for piano pedals. Before using the compound, make sure to read the instructions for proper
usage.
■ Tuning
Unlike an acoustic piano, the instrument does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune.
■ Transporting
If you move to another location, you can transport the instrument along with other belongings. You can move the unit
as it is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit down to the condition it was in when you first took it out of the
box. Transport the keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it up against a wall or stand it up on its side. Do not subject the
instrument to excessive vibration or shock.
When transporting the assembled instrument, make
sure all screws are properly tightened and have not
been loosened by moving the instrument.
(CVP-509) After transporting the instrument, do the
following to ensure optimum performance of the
iAFC function (page 34).
• Place the Clavinova so that its rear panel is at least
10 cm away from the wall.
• (When using the SPATIAL EFFECT) Perform the
automatic adjustment of the iAFC function.
