Cleaning
11 Cleaning
Components
Clean the externally accessible device parts regularly. The frequency of cleaning
depends on the operating environment: wet, smoky or particularly dirty surround‐
ings can cause more accumulation of dirt on the device parts.
n Clean with a soft dry cloth.
n Stubborn dirt can be removed with a slightly dampened cloth.
n Use only pH-neutral, solvent-free and non-abrasive cleaning agents. Never use
cleaners containing alcohol or thinner.
n Do not place vinyl objects on the device, as vinyl may stick to the surface or
cause it to discolour.
