- TIPS ON SPEEDLIGHT CARE--------- • To remove dirt or fingerprints, wipe with a dry soft or silicon- treated cloth. Never use thinner, benzine or alcohol, since they might damage the plastic parts. To clean the Wide-Flash Adapter, wash it with soap and water.
• If your SB-ll has not been used for a long time, its recycling time may be longer . To maintain the built-in condenser in peak condi - tion , thereby enabling you to use the SB - ll for many years, fire the flash unit a few times every month.
