12-2 Maintenance Chapter 12

Periodic Cleaning

Your unit requires little periodic maintenance. This section describes the necessary cleaning
procedures for your unit. Please note the following before cleaning:
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before cleaning the unit. Since documents in memory
are erased when the power is disconnected, print any documents stored in memory before
disconnecting the power cord. ( pp. 7-18, 8-11, 8-13)
Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can stick to the
components or generate static charges.
cNever use volatile liquids such as thinners, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical cleaner
to clean the interior of the unit; these can damage its components.
