### Clean 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 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.

WARNING
  - 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 product. Doing so could cause a fire or electrical shock. Instead, use only a dry, lint-free cloth.
  - When cleaning this product, use the designated cleaning materials exclusive to it. Other cleaning materials may result in poor performance of the product. Never use aerosol cleaners to avoid catching fire and explosion.

CAUTION
  When cleaning this product, always switch off and unplug it. Access to a live machine interior may cause electric shock.

IMPORTANT
  - Use neutral detergents. Cleaning with volatile liquids such as thinner or benzine will damage the surface of the machine.
  - DO NOT use cleaning materials that contain ammonia.
  - DO NOT use isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt from the control panel. It may crack the panel.
