Cleaning the Power Cable Plug

This section explains how to clean the plug on the power cable.

Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and clean the prongs and the area around the prongs at least once a year. Allowing dust to build up on the plug constitutes a fire hazard.

Make sure you turn the machine's main power switch to OFF before disconnecting the power cable plug from the wall outlet. For details about how to turn the machine's main power switch to OFF, see "Turning On/Off the Power", in About This Machine.

Cleaning Method

Using a clean, dry cloth, wipe off any dust or grime from the prongs of the plug and the area around the prongs.
