CLEANING THE UNIT

Proper care is essential in order to get clean, sharp copies. Be sure to take a few minutes to regularly clean the unit.

Do not spray flammable cleaner gas. Gas from the spray may come in contact with the internal electrical components or high-temperature parts of the fusing unit, creating a risk of fire or electrical shock.

• Before cleaning, be sure to turn the power switch off and remove the power cord from the outlet.

• Do not use thinner, benzene or other volatile cleaning agents. Doing so may cause deformation, discoloration, deterioration or malfunction.
