CAUTION

 

To prevent damage, do not pour or spray cleaning solvents directly onto MFP components. Spray

 

 

 

water or cleaning solvent onto a cloth and wipe down components that need cleaning. Because

some MFP components should never be exposed to ammonia fumes, use ammonia-based cleaners sparingly and only where indicated.
