in which the type bars move, or the type bars themselves.
We strongly advise you to have the machine cleaned and
checked at least once a year by a HERMES agent.
Cleaning the card holders, space bar and
painted parts
Important:
Avoid the card holders coming into contact with petrol,
alcohol or any diluting agent as this would affect their
transparency. Clean them with a cloth moistened in
soapy water.
Likewise the space bar, the carriage sides and platen knobs
should never be cleaned with organic solvents (petrol,
paraffin, turpentine, trichlorethylene, alcohol, acetone, etc.)
but with soapy water.
On the other hand, a cloth slightly moistened with alcohol
may be used to clean the metal parts.
