	These chemicals may deform or deteriorate the components of
	the printer.

Be careful not to damage any components when you clean inside the printer.

Do not scratch the surface (coated part) of PF roller assembly. Use soft brush to wipe off any dusts. Use a soft cloth moistened with alcohol to remove the ink stain.
