Periodic cleaning

Your fax requires little periodic maintenance. This section describes the necessary cleaning procedures for the fax. Please note the following before cleaning:

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before cleaning the fax. Since documents in memory are erased when the power is disconnected, print any documents stored in memory before disconnecting the power cord (see p. 5-14).

Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can stick to the components or generate static charges.

Never use volatile liquids such as thinners, benzene, acetone, or any other chemical cleaner to c clean the interior of the fax.
