❑For normal cleaning, hold the disc by its edge and use a soft cloth to wipe the surface from the center out.

❑If the disc is badly soiled, moisten a soft cloth with water, wring it out well, and use it to wipe the surface of the disc from the center out. Wipe off any remaining moisture with a dry soft cloth.
