122 Maintenance Chapter 12
Periodic Cleaning
This section describes the necessary cleaning procedures for your FAX. Please note
the following before cleaning your unit:
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before cleaning the FAX. Since documents
in memory are erased when the power is disconnected, print or send any
documents stored in memory before disconnecting the power cord ( p.94).
Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can
stick to the components or generate static charges.

Cleaning the FAX’s Exterior

Follow this procedure to clean the FAX’s outer casing:
Never use volatile liquids such as thinners, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical
cleaner to clean the interior of the FAX; these can damage the unit’s components.
1Disconnect the power cord from the FAX.
2Wipe the FAX’s exterior with a clean, soft,
lintfree cloth moistened with water or diluted
dishwashing detergent solution.
3When you finished, reconnect the power cord.
