4.

 

Do not remove the dirt by scraping or rubbing away from the module front surface when dry as this 
may cause micro-scratches on the glass and lead to module performance degrading.  

5.

 

Distilled water can be used for regular washing or rinsing of the module front glass to remove dust, 
dirt or other deposits.  

6.

 

To remove ingrained dirt, first rinse off area and let soak for a short period of time (~5 minutes). Re-
wet and use a soft sponge or seamless cloth to wipe glass surface in a circular motion. Mild detergent 
or glass cleaner may be used to clean the ingrained dirt, but harsh cleaning materials such as scouring 
powder, steel wool, scrapers, blades, or other sharp instruments must not be used to clean the module. 
Use of such materials will void the product warranty.  

7.

 

Always wear rubber gloves for electrical insulation while maintaining, washing or cleaning panels.
