Removing Caution Sticker on Top of Accuphase


A stupid question I know, but better to be safe. Has anyone removed the "Caution" (aka idiot) sticker on top of their new Accuphase equipment. The one that says "Do not Touch Hot Surface.

It is a beautiful piece of equipment to look at and than this stupid sticker ruins the lines when the top is in view. I am so tempted to pick and pull it up but I don’t want to damage an otherwise flawless piece.

Is it best to get it up while new or wait some time for the adhesive to warm up and/or weaken over time.

UPDATE: After using the unit for a few hours, I could not resist. The sticker pulls up really easy,  no residue. Obviously they used a weaker adhesive.

Yes, that sticker would have lasted about five minutes in my jurisdiction... maybe less. 

Most modern stickers can be easily removed with the application of heat from a hair dryer. The heat generated by your unit had already started the process for you!

I have a Luxman LX-380 tube integrated that listed for $8500 before it was recently discontinued that has a little silver sticker about one and a half centimeters square with a universal symbol on it as a hot surface caution near the top cooling vent for the output tubes. I wonder about removing it and it’s potential for having an effect on it’s authenticity and resale value if a collector or a vendor was to consider purchasing it or if I used as a trade-in.

Observe the lower right-hand corner of the vent. Sorry I can only present this as a link. I haven't figured out how to produce an actual image from the host sight I use.
