1.

Lightly wipe down outer areas of the system console with SONO that were touched during the procedure. Do not squeeze the towel over keys or areas where liquid can penetrate to the electronics. If you are going to wipe vigorously to remove gel or visible soil, it is recommended that you turn the unit off and unplug from the wall.
