10TAKING CARE OF YOUR MACHINE

Do not locate your machine in an environment where it is susceptible to dust or moisture. Both of these may damage the electronics, and cause erratic operation or failure. Do not locate your machine where temperature and humidity may be excessive. Doing so may also damage the electronics, and cause erratic operation or failure of your machine. Do not clean your machine with abrasives or strong cleaners. Doing so may remove or damage the finish, or may allow moisture to build up. Take care not to allow dust or particles to build up inside unused or open connectors.
