A simple clean soft cloth, or of you must a barely damp cloth, with the kit turned off. And i mean barely damp - wring it out, wait a bit, wring it out again and even warm it a bit on a radiator until it's all but dry to the touch.
Don't use any proprietary cleaning products such as polishes - they have an annoying habit of taking off the silk-screening from the fascia as well as any dirt, and the cleaning liquids can 'creep' into volume controls and the like, causing crackle or failure.
