Storage
Store NOELLE in cool, dry place. Extended storage
above 85 degrees Fahrenheit (29 Celsius) will cause the
simulator to soften and slowly warp.
It is acceptable to operate NOELLE at an ambient
temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 Celsius).
Cleaning
NOELLE should be cleaned with a cloth dampened with
diluted liquid dishwashing soap.
Remove all traces of any lubricant.
Do not clean with harsh abrasives.
Dry thoroughly.
NOELLE is "splash-proof" but not water-proof. Do not
