This chapter describes how to clean the scanner.

Do not use aerosol spray or spray that contains alcohol to clean the scanner. Dust blown up by strong air from the spray may enter inside the scanner which may cause the scanner to fail or malfunction.

Also note that sparks generated by static electricity may cause a fire.

The glasses inside the ADF become very hot when the scanner is being used.

Before you start cleaning the inside, make sure to turn off the power, unplug the power cable and wait at least 15 minutes for the ADF glass to cool down.
