Routine maintenance A

Cleaning and checking the machine

Clean the outside and inside of the machine regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth. When you replace the toner cartridge or the drum unit, make sure that you clean the inside of the machine. If printed pages are stained with toner, clean the inside of the machine with a dry, lint-free cloth.

• DO NOT put a toner cartridge or a toner

cartridge and drum unit assembly into a fire. It could explode, resulting in injuries.

• DO NOT use flammable substances,

any type of spray, or an organic solvent/liquid containing alcohol or ammonia to clean the inside or outside of the machine. Doing so could cause a fire or electrical shock. Instead, use only a dry, lint-free cloth.

Use neutral detergents. Cleaning with volatile liquids such as thinner or benzine will damage the surface of the machine.
